Great post Happy Jack. Bike shops that are focused solely on the luxury end of
cycling (high end road and mountain) may disagree with me, but with the huge
number of people in North America adopting cycling as part of their daily
lives, not just their lifestyle, I think its a great time to be a bike shop.
Yes, you are profiting less on parts/accessories/clothing in the global
economy, but bikes are forever getting more complicated and there is money to
be made in service.
Local shops that are dynamic, offer great service, support their communities,
and are willing to work for their customers will thrive even in a challenging
market placeā¦ good shops definitely aren't going anywhere.
