The Challenge

Bike shop competed with massive online retailers on parts pricing. Couldn't match their scale and prices. Local workshop services were profitable but one-time events. Wanted to combine online convenience with local service advantage. Needed integrated business model leveraging both strengths.

💡Our Solution

Built hybrid bike shop website—online store for parts/accessories plus workshop service booking. Customers order parts online for in-store pickup or fitting. Bike service packages bookable online. Bike build configurator for custom orders. Educational content about bike maintenance. Local cycling event calendar building community.

Hybrid model stickiness
Hybrid model combines online convenience with local service. Customers buy parts online then book us to fit them. Can't compete with online giants on price alone—but service integration creates advantage they can't match.
