"Knowledgeable and helpful, they will help you out with what is best for you instead of trying to sell you the most expensive thing! Also have group rides that leave from the store - great place for cyclists to meet other cyclists and to join the bike community." Unknown Reviewer via Google Review of The Bicycle Shop. Baton Rouge, LA.
Community---a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals.
Bike shops are booming across the world--community involvement is an epicenter of any business that is thriving...Show me a business that is doing well and I will show you a business that is involved with the local community.
Bike shops are gathering more and more people willing and able to hit the evening rides and forging friendships---which is leading to 24 hour rides for cancer, rides for diabetes, rides for fallen soldiers and so on.
Local businesses are not just looking at money first concept, they are outreaching to local members, creating new members to benefit communities through charity rides and benefits.
My local bicycle shop on Tuesday and Thursdays has evening rides exceeding 200 riders.
