Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
Bicycle unit sales (for all bicycles and for those with 20-in wheels and above) for the US including both the dealer and mass merchant channels are as follows Please note that these figures reflect market consumption based on import statistics and estimates of domestic production They do not account for inventory at the retail and wholesale levels

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

Bicycle Sales in USRECENT HISTORY OVERVIEW
The industryrsquos high point in terms of unit sales was the so-called bike boom in the 1970s The boom ended suddenly when the industry reached a rapid saturation point and did not have breadth of product choices to sustain sales levels
Today the industry has a much stronger foundation with an estimated 2000 companies involved in manufacturing and distributing cycling products to retailers and approximately 150 different bicycle brand names to choose from A wider variety of product is being sold to a wider range of consumers than ever before Since the boom no part of the bicycle has remained unchanged with fundamental improvements in design and materials being the norm throughout the industry
The key growth area in 2010 was road bikes according to the annual retail survey published by the NBDA The increase is being attributed primarily to consumer reaction to high gas prices mid-year as they turned to the bicycle in order to use less fuel and save money Retailers also reported an increase in service and repair work during this period as people were bringing bicycles they already owned out of storage and wanted to make them road-worthy The unit sales trends by category are below

A Look at the Bicycle Industryrsquos Vital StatisticsINDUSTRY OVERVIEW
2010 was a recovery year for the US bicycle industry with direct effect sales growing nearly 15 from 2009
The US bicycle industry generated $6 billion in sales in 2010 including retail sales of bicycles related parts and accessories through all channels of distribution
The size of the industry has remained remarkably stable since 2003 with sales between $58 billion and $61 billion each year (the exception being 2009) For comparison purposes we project the industry at $53 billion in 2002 $54 billion in 2003 $58 billion in 2004 $61 billion in 2005 (an all-time high) $58 billion in 2006 $60 billion in 2007 $60 billion in 2008 $56 billion in 2009 and $6 billion in 2010
