I think Mr Jackson spends a bit too much time worrying about big box retailers selling bikes in boxes. Why? Because I’m willing to bet he does a lot of business at the family end and is feeling sales pressure from them.

It’s a common refrain from retailers who will not lift their buisness away from those mass retailers only to complain about the competition.

The solution? Stop selling on price race downhill and start selling on service and points of difference something that has value to customers.
