Have thoughts, opinions on the industry? Join BRAIN's State of Retail panel

Published October 14, 2025

BOULDER, Colo. (BRAIN) — BRAIN is recruiting its State of Retail panel for next year. We're in search of nine bike shop owners, managers, and/or staff to answer timely questions about selling or servicing bikes.

Be part of one of our most widely read features. Being a panelist is a one-year commitment that provides a chance to share your views and insights with readers of BRAIN. Many of our past participants have truly enjoyed being a panelist and contributing.

On a monthly basis, starting in December and ending November 2026, we'll email you a short questionnaire, and you'll reply on behalf of your shop. Responses will appear in the monthly print issues of BRAIN and online from January to December 2026, along with a profile photo that you provide.

Read the October State of Retail feature, when we asked our panel: What are your challenges with theft and cybersecurity? What measures do you take to address them?
