Bike Shops vs. Online Retailers: The Battle for Cycling’s Soul

Sinopsis

In this episode of The Roadman Cycling Podcast, we dive into a critical but often overlooked aspect of cycling culture: the local bike shop (LBS). These shops are more than retail spaces—they’re the heart of the cycling community. From offering expert advice and maintaining our bikes to hosting group rides and fostering camaraderie, bike shops have historically been hubs of knowledge and connection. But today, many are struggling. Consumers are turning to online retailers, while some shops fail to deliver the community-driven magic that once set them apart. We discuss how both cyclists and shop owners can step up—riders by supporting local businesses, and shops by prioritizing passion, expertise, and community-building. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ROULEUR⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To get 10% off your ticket to Rouleur Live just go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rouleur.cc/live⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and use code ROADMAN10 to get 10% off!
