Local Bike Shop Day – Saturday 3rd May!
Local Bike Shop Day is the one day a year when independent bike shops across the UK can come together to celebrate their distinctive culture. It’s the day for local bike shops to showcase their passion, knowledge and personalised service they offer to their local communities.
This year’s Local Bike Shop Day will take place on Saturday 3rd May 2025.
Local Bike Shop Day is an industry wide initiative managed by the Association of Cycle Traders. Read about hundreds of bike shops around the world that took advantage of previous Local Bike Shop Day events here.

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 independent bike dealers (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.
Show your support
Since 2018, we’ve been celebrating indie bike shops across the country. Starting with just 100 bike shops, the campaign now sees over 500 local bike shops take part in the celebration.
So when it comes around to the day, pop into your local bike shop to show your support, take photo’s and add to the buzz on social media with the hashtag #supportyourlocalbikeshop.
Bike shops have been an integral part of local communities all around the UK – it’s time for the greater public to recognise this.
