About us

What is The Bike Cooperative?

The Bike Cooperative is a member-owned cooperative of nearly 300 independent bike retail locations across the U.S. For over 15 years our mission has been simple: to empower local, independent bike retailers. 

But as time, trends, and technology continue to change the game for retailers, staying ahead of the pack  is anything but simple. That’s where The Bike Cooperative makes a difference, because every cyclist knows that riding together makes the journey easier. For members of The Bike Cooperative – the synergy is no different.

By joining together as individuals, we create scale that levels the playing field for IBDs to grow and thrive with modern tools, efficiencies, and a network that gives them an edge.

Local bike shops have a rich history in communities across America. The Bike Cooperative imagines a future where they stand as one to succeed as many, and envisions a network that empowers them to stand together as a force in the industry.  

Are you an independent bicycle dealer? Learn how riding together with other IBDs can give you the momentum to compete today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
