Local Bike Shop Day 2025 supported by Citrus-Lime
Citrus-Lime will support Local Bike Shop Day on the 3rd of May, showcasing the importance of independent retailers which provide expert advice and guidance to customers, along with high-quality service which helps nurture a deep love for cycling.
Independent bike shops are supported behind the scenes by Citrus Lime by empowering them with the tools they need to succeed in a fast-moving and competitive industry.
Stock management, online sales, workshop bookings, and customer expectations can be simplified and made easier to deal with if the correct systems are in place. This can be a large limiting factor on even the most passionate bike shops.
Citrus-Lime’s Cloud POS provides independent bike retailers the resources to compete in the market. This simplifies admin and paperwork, allowing employees to spend more time with customers rather than backroom work.
James Steel, director at Citrus-Lime, said: “We don’t just provide software. We partner with cycle retailers to help them streamline operations, increase visibility and stay competitive, both online and on the High Street.”
The platform currently supports hundreds of cycle retailers across the country, in both rural and urban environments. The system deals with point of sale, stock management, and integrated e-commerce. It also integrates real-time sales accuracy along with stock inventory, making management easier.
Steel said: “Independent bike shops offer something that can’t be replicated online; genuine expertise, trust and face-to-face service. Our mission is to give them the tools they need to operate at their best so they can continue doing what they love, connecting people to the joy of riding.
Steel added: “Local Bike Shop Day isn’t just about celebrating great service, it’s about recognising the role independent bike dealers play in building stronger, healthier and more connected communities. We’re proud to play a small part in them doing exactly that.”
Citrus-Lime has been helping the industry, offering advice to retailers on how to stay competitive.
