The latest issue of Cycling Industry News magazine is out now—and it’s packed with insights on bike shop strategies, e-bike production, mechanic shortages, and much more.

From whether bike shops should open 7 days a week to in-depth interviews with e-bike leaders in China, the July 2025 issue of Cycling Industry News (CIN) delivers a wide-angle look at where the cycling business is heading.

Whether you’re a shop owner, distributor, e-bike brand, or workshop technician, this edition has something that speaks directly to your role in the fast-changing world of cycling.

Should Bike Shops Open Every Day?

Retailers have debated it for years: is it worth opening your shop seven days a week? CIN looks into this with real-world case studies, market data및 expert opinions on whether more open hours actually mean more profits—or just more costs.

Some shops have tested new schedules with surprising results, and others have pulled back after trying seven-day weeks. The issue lays out the pros and cons clearly, giving readers useful benchmarks for their own decision-making.

Where Will the Industry Grow Next?

One of the big questions for 2025 and beyond: who’s fueling the next wave of cycling growth? This issue dives deep into growth demographics and how retail shops are adapting (or not) to changing customer types.

From the surge in e-bike commuting to the increasing role of women and older riders in shaping the market, this feature uses data-driven insights to identify the most promising segments for future sales.

Who’s Representing Bike Mechanics?

With bike shops struggling to hire and retain skilled technicians, this issue puts a spotlight on one of the most overlooked parts of the business: the bike mechanic.

CIN interviews Mark Barfield, founder of the European Association of Professional Bike Mechanics, who’s sounding the alarm over the profession’s lack of representation. It’s a timely discussion as e-bike servicing, diagnostic tools, and drivetrain complexity make mechanical roles more critical—and harder to fill—than ever.

E-drive system specialist Ananda opens its doors to CIN contributor Chris Keller-Jackson, who visits the company’s production facility in Wuxi and Shanghai. He sits down with CEO Daniel Zhou to talk about the brand’s latest innovations, global strategy, and what’s next for integrated e-bike systems.

This feature is a must-read for anyone interested in how e-bike motors and batteries are developed at scale—and how Chinese innovation continues to shape the global electric bike market.

ZyroFisher at 30: What’s Next for the Industry Giant?

ZyroFisher celebrates 30 years in business, and CIN talks with CEO Tom Ainscough 그리고 CCO Nadine Thompson about how the role of distribution is evolving.

From the challenges of supporting small independent bike shops to embracing digital logistics and aftermarket service, this interview offers a frank look at the state of UK and European bike retail—and where opportunity lies, especially in categories like e-bikes, gravel, and accessories.

Bike Theft: Could Tracker Tech Finally Help?

Bike theft has long been a sore point, with many riders frustrated by the low rate of stolen bike recoveries. But there’s a glimmer of hope: new legislation now allows UK police to act on live GPS tracker data.

CIN explores whether this policy change could help close the gap between stolen bikes and actual prosecutions, especially for high-end e-bikes and cargo bikes fitted with trackers.
