LAS VEGAS, Nevada — These are challenging days for independent bicycle shop owners and they, along with bike store suppliers, are gathering in Las Vegas this week for business strategy sessions Monday and Tuesday and the CABDA West bike show in downtown Wednesday and Thursday.
The Las Vegas Cyclery bike store in Summerlin hosted a meet-and-greet for the National Bicycle Dealers Association Summit West Sunday evening, with the bike shop owners schmoozing with other bicycle store proprietors and even supply company representatives who work with the independent bike businesses.
NBDA Executive Director Heather Mason caught up with the bike shop owners between slicing a big cake to welcome the association members.
The bike shop owners will be listening to speakers and attending sessions on everything from e-bikes to being profitable: “Get ready to dive deep into the topics that matter most: expanding ridership in your community, exceeding customer expectations at every touchpoint, unlocking service center revenue opportunities, building cultures of excellence, navigating the e-mobility revolution, mastering used bike programs, and implementing winning inventory strategies.”
One of the speakers will be Jim Kersten, who puts on three CABDA shows a year, including the CABDA West bike shop show at the World Market Center Expo in downtown. CABDA will be in action Wednesday and Thursday. More than 100 bicycle brands will be on hand
