Ever wonder what is threatening or hurting the independent bike shop these days? We have it on good authority that this is the list:
>Competition from mail order/internet dealers
>Not enough places to ride bicycles
>In-season supplier dealer events
>Competition from other bicycle retailers
>Supplier inventory availability
>Keeping up with online marketing trends and tools
>Suppliers whose actions and policies are not in retailers' best interest
>Dealing with online reputation management
>Model year inventory devaluation
>Increasing costs of insurance
>Availability of qualified employees
>Earlier in-season product introductions
>Competition from mass merchants
>Competition from full-line sporting goods stores
