NBDA reminds bicycle retailers that the application deadline for NBDA America's Best Bike Shops program is March 31.


 

The program is designed to identify and reward bicycle stores in North America against the highest performance standards in the industry, and give them tools to promote their recognition. To be considered, a store representative (owner or manager) must apply by filling out a detailed application, as well as agreeing to be “mystery shopped” by an outside company. Applicants are awarded points based on the application and shopping results, with only the highest performers being selected.  
 

Applicants must be independent bicycle stores with a physical store open to the public that sells bicycles, parts, accessories, and has a service department. 50% of a store's total sales must be related to bicycles, and be from a physical store location.  You can read more at NBDA America's Best Bike Shops application page.
