Bicycle Sport

What Bicycle Sport does

Bicycle Sport is a privately held specialty bicycle retailer headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, operating two physical storefronts — Myers Park (2916 Selwyn Ave) and Uptown (1432 W Morehead St) — alongside a full e-commerce website at bicyclesport.com with delivery and in-store pickup. The company sells complete bicycles across road, mountain, gravel, cyclocross, commuter/urban, comfort, cruiser, fitness, hybrid, children's, and BMX categories, plus an electric bike line with motors from Bosch, Shimano, and Fazua, with entry-level bikes starting around $599 and high-end racing and e-MTB models exceeding $16,000. The product assortment extends to wheels, drivetrain and brake components, tires and tubes, helmets, cycling apparel and shoes, car racks, and a broad accessories category, drawing from brands including Trek, Cannondale, Santa Cruz, Surly, Salsa, BMC, and 3T.

Beyond product resale, Bicycle Sport operates a service business offering professional bike fitting, repair and maintenance, bicycle rentals, and recurring group rides and cycling events that anchor community engagement. Marketing and customer retention are driven by a multi-channel stack spanning the e-commerce site, an active blog (including Summer Ride Guide and Electric Bike Guide content), an email newsletter, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram (@bicyclesportcharlotte), YouTube, and a Strava Club (Club 48537). The customer base is exclusively consumer — recreational, fitness, commuter, off-road, competitive, and family cyclists in the Charlotte metro area — with no enterprise or B2B contracts identified.

The revenue model is purely transactional: one-time product sales at retail margins (entry-level to premium), supplemented by unit-priced service fees for fitting, repair, and rentals. The company is independently operated with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition history, and carries no patents, certifications, regulatory actions, or strategic partnerships in the source data.
