The Biking Solution, a consulting firm that works with independent bicycle dealers, has added six new members and a total of ten locations in recent weeks. 

 

“We were extremely pleased with the quality of retailers we welcomed to TBS in the fall and winter, and we’re very excited to see that trend continuing in the early stages of 2008, not only with new members but also current members opening new branches,” said Greg Brodsky, managing director.   “The response to our programs has been fantastic, and we’re hopeful that the enthusiasm we’re seeing will lead to continued growth in new markets over the coming months.”

The new locations are:



  • Conte's Bicycle and Fitness Equipment – Conyers, GA

  • McLain Cycle & Fitness – Traverse City, MI (2 locations)

  • McLain Cycle & Fitness – Cadillac, MI

  • Santos Bike Shop – The Village, FL

  • Wheels In Motion – Dallas, TX

  • Radsport Outfitters – Chester, CT

  • Skirack – Burlington, VT

  • Papa Wheelies Bicycle Shop – Portsmouth, NH

  • Back Bay Bicycles – Boston, MA

The Biking Solution claims that its retailers grow about 30% faster than non-TBS retailers. The company focuses on improving the profitability and quality of life for specialty bike retailers.
