Introduced in the UK four years ago, Local Bike Shop Day has become an ever-growing highlight on the calendar. Here’s how you can get involved on Saturday, 30th April


“


Each year we have gone above and beyond to make sure we celebrate Local Bike Shop Day,” said Darren Hunt, group retail managing director at the Cycle King and


Hawk Cycles family-owned chain. “We feel it’s a great opportunity to showcase how special local independent retailers are. We, like many companies, have a large online presence but at the heart of what we do is serving our local community and loyal customers day in and day out.”


Since it was established in 2018, support for Local Bike Shop


Day has continued to grow, as businesses from across the trade have joined forces to shout about the great work being done by cycle retailers. Returning on Saturday 30th April, the 2022 Local Bike Shop Day, now managed by the Association of Cycle Traders (ACT),

is set to be the biggest ever event – but why should your business get involved?


Why Local Bike Shop Day? Hunt, from the Cycle King and Hawk Cycles chain with stores across London and the Midlands, added: “I would thoroughly recommend that everyone gets involved in Local Bike Shop Day if possible. The last couple of years have seen a huge uptake in cycling across the country, with commuters, families and leisure cyclists all benefiting from our friendly local service. We also know our customers enjoy supporting local businesses, helping improve the environment and advancing their own wellbeing. We cannot thank them enough for continuing to access some of the most knowledgeable colleagues in the industry – their local independent bike shop.”
