    Can’t recommend this podcast enough for anyone in bike retail or desiring insights into the industry. As a life-long bike retail employee, I love hearing about the various community building events, marketing initiatives, mission statements, merchandising methods, service processes, advocacy efforts and even signage recommendations. They cover it all in a SUPER upbeat and positive way. Kudos to the whole NBDA team and friends!
