local bike shop day  

Local Bike Shop Day celebrates independent bike shops all around the UK.

It is all about recognising the community and culture that is independent bike shops, giving specialist IBDs the chance to highlight what makes their shop stand out, why consumers should shop local and what sets them apart from bigger national retailers.

Why not show customers that you are part of the Local Bike Shop Day network and help others discover the integral part that local independent bike shops play in their local communities.
