The swiss main news brought the current cycling market situation to the their news and unfortunately this will put even more pressure on the retail prices as they say you get everywhere discounts. It’s already a difficult year and then with the news yesterday about Flyer closing their production in Switzerland will put even more questions where the cycling market will go. There is still a significant high stock at retailers and brands and the economy situation makes it not easier. The retail needs to set focus on good service and after sales that will help in the mid and long run when the market is picking up again.

The new Swiss Transport Study has some good new insights and a positive trend of owning and using an Ebike in Switzerland. More and more people leave the car and take the e-bike Unlike electric cars, the popularity of e-bides in Switzerland is reaching record levels. What the reasons are and what experts are now demanding in order to expand bicycle traffic more strongly. In brief: Transport is responsible for 41 percent of Switzerland's CO2 emissions. E-bikes are increasingly replacing the car over short and medium distances. In view of the increasing number of e-bikes, improvements are being demanded in the bicycle infrastructure and the connection to public transport. France is financially supporting the purchase of e-bikes as part of a comprehensive climate plan. This has a positive impact on the Swiss transport turnaround. Because more and more people leave the car in the garage in everyday life and take the e-bike instead. This is the conclusion of a study carried out by the opinion research institute Yougov last September on behalf of Bosch. Specifically, almost 50 percent of the e-bike riders surveyed stated that they completed half of their previous car trips by e-bike. In addition, according to the study, the electric bicycles are ridden over longer distances and are used more often than conventional bicycles, most often by older people between the ages of 45 and 79. https://lnkd.in/d2jHW6WE

The bike industry is doing it wrong. For most people, cycling is about joy. Not performance, speed, weight and winning races. That’s why at Temple we focus on what we know best: how to have fun on a bike. Any bike. We strongly believe in making quality, long lasting bikes over lightweight and fragile ones. Bikes you can explore on, load up with gear, take on adventures and fall in love with the great outdoors. Ride slow, look around you, take it all in and feel like you’re flying. There’s never been a better time to buy one of our bikes, with brilliant deals (not something we usually do but the bike market is forcing our hand a little). We’ve made our next batch and more sizes and colours are available. Pick up your next ride here: https://lnkd.in/eXCM3uSV

To be prepared for the future, we all need to move! Sustainable development is complex and sometimes overwhelming. But it is also an eye-opener that helps us to change things. In my opinion, for the better. Thanks for the exciting insights and thanks DT Swiss for the support! #sustainableDevelopment #furthereducation

Nike Shox: the cylindrical pillars will forever be unique. There is no basis for comparison between the Shox and Samba as both are distinctively different. As a consumer, I would love to see new Innovation on the Shox. https://lnkd.in/gfMZGG88

Last week, I had the privilege of participating in adidas' EU Leadership Camp—a three-day gathering of leaders from across Europe to reflect on 2024, set the vision for 2025, and prepare ourselves for success. One moment that truly stood out for me was an interview with Paul Pogba on leadership. He shared how his leadership style matured when he was told to help elevate his teammates. When others weren't performing at his level, instead of yelling or pushing them down, he realized the importance of raising their confidence to bring them up. This sparked a moment of reflection for me. Let me take you back a few months: in May, I hired a new team member fresh out of university. A different generation, a different mindset, and a completely new perspective. I’ve been fortunate to have worked with incredible direct reports who brought curiosity, resilience, and a wealth of professional experience. But this was my first time leading someone entirely new to the workforce. I invested a lot of time sharing tips, providing feedback, and offering support. But despite my efforts, I wasn’t seeing the progress I’d hoped for. I sought advice from peers and leaders, adjusted my approach, and kept pushing forward. In the end, it didn’t work out—the team member decided to leave the company. I was disappointed when their resignation letter came. I believed that with more time, they could have overcome the hurdles and felt immense pride in their growth. After reflecting and speaking with mentors, I came to the conclusion there wasn’t much more I could have done to change the outcome. Fast forward to Pogba’s words about elevating others. This struck a chord with me. While I spent time coaching and guiding my direct report, I realized I hadn’t done enough to celebrate the things they were already excelling at. I hadn’t pushed them down, but I also hadn’t elevated them enough. That’s the lesson I’m taking forward as a leader: it’s not just about coaching for improvement but also about recognizing and amplifying the strengths that are already there. What leadership lesson has stayed with you over the years?

Market stats: 🇦🇹 Austria's 2023 bike market is down -16.6% to 421k units, yet resetting -15.1% in value to a new playing field level of € 1.18B. This is the third €1B year in a row, compared to 2019's 439k units & €700M value, with an expectancy of market recovery this year or early 25. eBikes led sales, attaining a "mobility milestone" of 52% (221k) of all units and 75% of cash (€894M) in till. They even accounted for 62% of adult bike units. Folding +39%, Gravel +20% and Road +10% categories performed best YoY, also following the well established less volume more value trend. Folding (~8000 units, ~2% tot) and eCargo (~5500units, ~1% tot) were the fastest growing segments. This is a success which the VSSÖ - Association of sporting goods producers and sporting goods dealers in Austria atributes in part to subsidy and company bike programs, as well as their ease of use, low running costs, and low environmental impact. Folding bikes are more than just an e-phenomenon. Quality is important to Austrian buyers as they are sell at an ASP of over €1900 muscular, €2500 electric, surely also aided by €500 subsidy. 2022's bike/train commute push from Austria is clearly having an impact as it is this portability that counts most to train commuters; likely why muscular bikes led with 68% of units in the segment. Overall, demand for folding bikes more than doubled at +108%, but again, numbers remain small at just ~8000 units. This is a space to watch for 24. By contrast, just 470 or ~8% of 5500 cargobikes were muscular, with an overall ASP of a notable ~€5600. The cargo segment is expected to grow further in 24, and luckily the government has now scrapped a €150 eBike shop contribution to the subsidy value, of €900 per unit. The bullwhip has also moved mostly upstream: Whereas 2022 and 2023 saw most stock and issues in retail, shops now seem to have restored balance and are playing safe, benefitting from close to market (excessive) manufaurer stock. Effectively relegating most overstock issues to suppliers and distributors, who are feeling the most pressure. Nonetheless consumer demand is ongoing and healthy, says the VSSÖ. As usual my roundup sources from the report and personal experience. Read a summary with less total data from Bike Europe via my article gift link, here:

🚴‍♂️ 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝗘𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗙𝗙 𝗚𝗥𝗜𝗗 🚴‍♀️ I am thrilled to share an incredible experiment initiated by my colleagues Lena, Sven, Fabian and Philip that truly resonates with me: OFF GRID - Offline Cycling Culture. In today's world, there's a growing trend among athletes that often severs the vital connections between humans, nature, and our inner selves. Cycling has become more about numbers, kilometers, and digital displays. This constant distraction is gradually detaching us from our environment, from real life. At its core, adventure should be about being present in the moment. True adventure is experienced when we are fully aware of our surroundings, free from distractions. But how can we encourage people to reconnect with these authentic experiences? 📵 Imagine this: You, your bike, a starting point, and a destination. No smartphone. No tracker. No GPS. Just you and the environment. 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘥𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴? 𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳? What a beautiful documentary about this new movement (Leon, Maria, Felix, Robin, Lukas and many more) https://lnkd.in/e8827Ry8 #Cycling #Adventure #Nature Ryzon
