The small local bike shop (LBS) has historically played a crucial role in bike culture, supporting local scenes, sponsoring riders, hosting events, and serving as a community hub. However, shifting consumer habits and tough times post-pandemic have led to many bike shop closures. As a result, only the most passionate independent shops have survived and flourished. In this video, Owen Coutts visits one of these standout shops, Friction Cycles in Bristol, England.
