The most comprehensive bicycle industry report.

This comprehensive 103-page report, which draws from many diverse sources of information within the bicycle industry, is purchased and implemented by various businesses. “I’ve studied these reports extensively and implemented changes to my shops based on the data, “ noted Kent Cranford, NBDA Board chair.

“And most of the folks that have been buying the reports were vendors, investors, consultants, and new bicycle retailers looking for the answers to success,” Cranford concluded.

The cost of the report is $399, with a discounted price of $299 for NBDA members.

In addition to the ongoing topics in the report since its inception in 2000, Townley has added three new items that we are excited to share. The latest research provides rideshare and its market impact, electric bikes, and the bike shop of the future.

“2018 was a seminal year for our industry in general and retailers in particular,” Townley said. “Many of the key trends that came to the fore were just wisps as recently as 2016.”

“The NBDA members and the bicycle industry will benefit from this market report that shows the statistical basis for the future, with definable trends based on high probability assumptions. I’m excited to get this information out to the bike industry and broader-based users,” concluded Townley.
