This year's Local Bike Shop Day, celebrating independent bike shops all around the UK, has been confirmed as the 2nd May 2020.
What is Local Bike Shop Day?
Local Bike Shop Day is all about celebrating 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.
Local Bike Shop Day opens its doors to everyone, from experienced riders to first-timers, females and children.
Today, it is so important for communities to work together to put the indie shops back at the heart of the UK's towns and cities and this is what Local Bike Shop Day is aiming to do.
