Landis Cyclery

What Landis Cyclery does

Landis Cyclery is a privately held specialty bicycle retailer founded in 1912 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The company operates four physical retail stores covering the Phoenix metro area (Central Phoenix, North Scottsdale, Tempe North, Tempe South) and runs an e-commerce website with continental US shipping and in-store pickup. It sells a comprehensive range of bicycles across road, mountain, gravel, cyclocross, commuter/urban, comfort, cruiser, fitness, hybrid, children's, and BMX categories, alongside electric bicycles, parts, wheels, tires/tubes, accessories, clothing, helmets, shoes, and car racks. It serves as an authorized dealer for premium brands including Trek, Specialized, Santa Cruz, S-Works, Electra, Haro, Juliana, Surly, Salsa, Sun Bicycles, All-City, Troxus, and LOOK, with bikes priced from under $300 for entry-level children's and cruiser models to over $12,000 for high-end road and mountain bikes.

The company's revenue model is anchored in three streams: one-time retail sales of new bicycles and parts/accessories, professional services (maintenance, repair, suspension service, professional bike fitting, and demo bike programs), and transaction-fee revenue from the Trek financing program powered by Citizens Pay. Service operations include a full-service repair shop with certified technicians and a suspension service capability for mountain bikes. Pricing is unit-based across all product categories, with financing available as a multi-year installment option on Trek bikes. The customer base spans children, commuters and urban riders, recreational and performance cyclists as the primary segment, and serious/competitive cyclists willing to invest in premium equipment.

Landis Cyclery employs 11-50 people and is led by founder-family owners Richard Landis and Robert Landis. Its go-to-market combines physical retail, e-commerce, email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, and an events and rides calendar that builds community engagement. Geographic scope is domestic only, with no international shipping. No institutional investment, private equity backing, M&A activity, restructuring, leadership changes, regulatory actions, or AI capability disclosures were identified in the source material.

Direct peers

• Mike's Bikes: Multi-location independent bike retailer in Northern California carrying Trek, Specialized, Santa Cruz, and similar premium brands with full service, fitting, and demo programs. Operates the same full-service multi-store model as Landis Cyclery, just at larger scale in an adjacent market.
• Bicycle Warehouse: Multi-store Southern California and Arizona bike retailer carrying Trek, Specialized, and other major brands with on-site service departments. Highly comparable multi-store regional model overlapping with Landis Cyclery's Phoenix-area footprint and brand mix.
• Bike Attack: Los Angeles-based independent bike retailer (multiple locations) with deep Trek, Specialized, and Santa Cruz assortments plus a full service department. Closely comparable premium-bike, multi-store, service-driven model to Landis Cyclery.
• Jenson USA: Long-standing online-direct bike and components retailer carrying many of the same brands as Landis Cyclery (Trek, Specialized, etc.). Represents the online channel competitor that a multi-store independent dealer must defend against on price and selection.
• Competitive Cyclist: Premium online bike retailer (now part of Backcountry) specializing in high-end road, mountain, and gravel bikes and components. Direct competitor for premium and enthusiast bike dollars that might otherwise flow to a shop like Landis Cyclery.

Emerging players

• The Pro's Closet: Specialized online marketplace for buying and selling premium new and used bikes and components. Competes for the same premium-cyclist customer base Landis serves, particularly for upgrades and second-bike purchases.

Broad incumbents

• REI: National outdoor co-operative that sells bikes, components, and apparel across many categories including cycling. A broader incumbent that competes for the same casual and entry-level cycling dollars, though without Landis's depth in premium performance bikes and service.
• Trek Bicycle (retail division): Major bike brand with an expanding company-owned retail footprint that competes head-to-head with independent dealers like Landis Cyclery on Trek product allocation, pricing, and demo programs. Represents the manufacturer-led retail encroachment risk.

Regional players

• Nytro Cyclery: Multi-store Southern California road, triathlon, and gravel specialist with deep service capability. Comparable specialty multi-store model, though geographically focused on CA rather than AZ.
• Summit Bicycles: Long-running multi-store Northern California bike retailer with similar premium brand mix and service offerings. Comparable in heritage and full-service model, though in a different regional market than Landis Cyclery.
