Tales From The Bike Shop Series

Like a snowy commute in mid-April, this blog has been cold too long!

First off, I apologize for the lack of posts on this blog. However; in the interim silence, I have discovered a new purpose for this blog and it will be updated more regularly now.

The idea is to give some space to issues regarding navigating the current retail marketplace as it pertains to the "Local Bike Shop", or "LBS".

I'll be giving my takes on how current retail practices and those of the disruptive, "internet" based commerce are affecting the consumer's experience from a "real world" perspective. Not some talking head's opinion of what is going to happen to retail, but what actually is happening in current retail in bike shops. 

So, hang on as I delve into big issues and small. I'll have some views from the shop floor and tales of  the industry at large. I hope that it proves to be an interesting change in direction here.

Stay tuned............................
