Who Is The Bike Cooperative?

The Bike Cooperative helps bicycle retailers thrive through cost-saving programs, business optimization tools, and a nationwide network of like-minded shop owners. Over 300 locations strong, we give you the resources and scale of a national brand — while you stay 100% local and independent.

Programs That Make A Difference

Every bike shop is different. But every bike shop also shares a common advantage: local expertise. By joining together under one cooperative banner (while operating independently) bike shops across the country are already creating scale that gives members of The Bike Cooperative an edge in a retail environment that grows more competitive every year. Today, members across the country benefit from programs & services including:

  • Marketing & loyalty
  • Operational cost savings
  • Co-op business consultants
  • Financial cost savings
  • Extended protection plans
  • Consumer financing

“My store has been a part of The Bike Cooperative for a very long time and the membership easily pays for itself each month, through the various TBC programs.  
Every time we send out an e-newsletter through the TBC Email Program, customers stop by and sales are generated. Riders have gotten the bike of their dreams, thanks to the Freedom to Ride Financing plans. And I’ve hired some amazing team members thanks to the Acquire4Hire platform.

But best of all, the TBC team is always there to help me and my business in any way possible!”

“Peak Sports has been a member of TBC for a very long time and the working relationship has been very rewarding. In addition to the useful array of services membership provides, such as Freedom to Ride Financing through Synchrony Financing, the Custom Email program for weekly emails, Acquire 4 Hire for posting job openings, RideClub for the customer rewards program, and Direct Mail promotions, the team at TBC has always been the best to work with.  I strongly recommend membership in TBC.”

“The Bike Cooperative has the good infrastructure tools you need to run a profitable bike shop. Pedal’s been using them for years. We use the credit card processing. We use Synchrony through the co-op. Payroll is processed through ADP, thanks to the co-op. I write award-winning* prose to our clients each month and send it with the co-op’s email program. I’ve snagged some great coworkers using the co-op’s job posting service. The co-op has good stuff. The price is right. They care about independent bike retail. Call ‘em up and tell ‘em Tim sent you.”

* The Bicyclical has won exactly zero awards, but one time my mom said, “It’s nice.”

“We have been a member for many years. We take advantage of many of the programs offered. The TBC team has enabled us to offer better customer experience that otherwise we would be lacking. Thank you for all that TBC does for dealers.”
