What are Bicycle Shops?
A local bike shop or local bicycle shop, sometimes abbreviated LBS, is a small business, as distinct from a chain, mail-order, or online vendor, specializing in bicycle sales, maintenance, and parts. In the UK and Ireland, the expression independent bicycle dealers are also used.

Is a bike shop profitable?
The average store maintains a 36 percent profit margin on bicycle sales and so does the average high-profit store.
It’s not about inventory turns. The average store turns inventory 2.2 times, while the high-profit store is slightly worse at 2.0 turns.
How tall should I be for a 26-inch bike?
26-inch bikes are a common size for adults. Riders with a height of 5′ and above are typically tall enough to comfortably fit on bikes with 26” wheels.
However, riders taller than 5’5” may be better suited to the slightly larger 27.5” or 29” models that offer better traction and stability.
Is a 24-inch bike for adults?
No, a 24-inch bike is not for adults. Usually, adults’ bikes start with the 26-inch variants. However, somebody who is between 4´5” and 5´5” tall would be able to ride a 24-inch.
After all, some adults are not that much taller than children, so a 24-inch bike in these cases would suffice.
