The latest issue of BikeBiz magazine is now online. Read the August 2026 Digital Edition of BikeBiz now!
The August issue covers the mountain bike market. In this issue, we sit down with Alpkit co-founder Nick Smith to talk through building an ethical business and explore how South African protective gear brand Leatt achieved impressive growth in a challenging market.
We also discuss the actionable “Gearing Up!” framework with Fi Spotswood and Claire Sharpe to unlock opportunities in the growing women’s market, and look at the defensive role of the new E-Bike Positive trust mark.
Beyond that, we go behind the scenes with Si Paton to look at the logistics of scaling the legendary UK mountain bike festival, The Malverns Classic, hear from fizik on their new modular in-store POP strategy, and chat with Microshift about their evolution from OEM partner into a prominent consumer brand.
Finally, Silverfish CEO Matthew Osborne shares reflections on winning the Bike Distributor of the Year award for a third time, and we take five minutes to explore the smart cycling ecosystem engineered by the team at Magene.
