New retail research shows that the High Street in 2017 has suffered the lowest number of store closures since 2010 – but BikeBiz has recently reported that bike-shop closures appear to be accelerating. Last month BikeBiz revealed that bike shops are currently closing at a rate not seen since the 1960s. Some have opened in the last 12 months, but many more have shuttered.
