Btw where did all those people go decades ago when they said the US Mail was going to be extinct thanks to E-Mail lol...
I would think the LBS's would do quite well. Parts, repairs, ancillary items, setups, trades, lots of options. And I couldnt see them being eliminated from selling bikes either. I dont know if Walmart could handle the inventory of replacement parts..They would need additional warehousing just for this task. Thats why LBS's would have that business. Their demand is so stringent they would need warehouses just to stock bikes alone if they expanded to high end bikes. Lol to put a 5k bike in Walmart on a store floor or in those racks would be scary...Junior! get off that bike!! lol..
It would certainly change the industry...Just like they did decades ago when they started selling bikes.
