Welcome to Bicycle Retail Radio. We're glad you're here.The bicycle industry is facing a real challenge: participation is declining, and while e-bikes have helped reshape who's riding and how, they haven't reversed the long-term trend.Growing ridership is  essential to the future of every bike shop..That's why the NBDA convenes its Growing Ridership and Retailer Foot Traffic Panel three times a year, bringing together retailers, suppliers, and industry leaders to focus on what's actually working.This episode features our May 19th panel, where - with the help of some special guests - we tackled two topics.First: how retailers and brands can capitalize on the momentum in women's sports to grow women's cycling. Our industry friends highlight what real partnerships look like on the ground in New York City.Second: we shifted to a bigger question: are we too dependent on the bike shop as the entry point for new riders? And how do we meet people where they already are?It's a rich conversation you won't want to miss, so let's go.Support the show

This month on Pre-Loved, we're launching something new: the Resale Report, a monthly special podcast segment dedicated to the business of vintage and secondhand — made specifically for the small shop owners, solo sellers, and independent dealers. Joining me is Sloan Middleton-Mann, founder of Business of Vintage, the world's only marketing agency specialized for vintage sellers. Sloan brings a rare combination of industry experience and formal business school training — she went back to get her MBA specifically to translate retail and marketing best practices to the one-of-a-kind space of secondhand, and has been helping vintage sellers build smarter businesses ever since. In our first conversation, we dig into the momentum behind Vintage Store Day — this year on May 16! — the retail holiday founded by Lost Girls Vintage and Rare Form in Chicago, now in its second year with over 1,100 shops participating. We discuss marketing a special event like this one: how to think about social media in a way that actually makes sense for a small vintage business, and what to do after a great event to turn new foot traffic into loyal regulars. Whether you're planning something for May 16th or just trying to build a more sustainable business around the thing you love, this one's for you. Let's talk shop.

New data from Downtown Clean & Safe shows a growing number of pedestrians visiting Portland’s downtown. Compared to last year, the total number of visitors from January to August was up by 5.6%, making it the strongest year for downtown since the pandemic. But those numbers still have not caught up to what they were pre-lockdowns -- and are still just half of what they were in 2019. We’ll hear from various community leaders to hear how they view downtown. Todd Zarnitz is the president of the Northwest District Association. Sarah Shaoul is the founder and CEO of Bricks Need Mortar. And Ryan Hashagen is the founder of Icicle Tricycles, director of the Steel Bridge Skatepark Coalition and an adjunct professor at PSU. And we get thoughts from community members, visitors and business owners we gathered on a recent visit to downtown.

Microplastics are a widespread, ubiquitous environmental contamination. The Adirondack park is one of the most pristine parts of our state, but even those gorgeous mountains are not safe from the microplastics brought in by hikers and their gear. Dr. Joe Dadey, executive director of Adirondack Hamlets to Huts, and Dr. Tim K. Keyes of Evergreen Business Analytics researched these findings and shared their conclusions in a report (see link below) as they spoke about this with Mark Dunlea and Benno Greene about the report they created.

Are You Measuring Foot Traffic Accurately—or Guessing?In this episode of Retail Retold, Chris Ressa sits down with Carla Hinson, Vice President of Solutions at MRI Software, to uncover the top three things most people don't know about foot traffic. Carla explains how advancements in data collection have moved from simple counters to cell phone tracking, and now to visual AI that provides true, real-time insights into consumer behavior. She highlights three critical dimensions: potential—the ability to capture more granular and accurate traffic data; performance—understanding capture rates and linking them to revenue outcomes; and optimized experiences—using data to refine in-store layouts, marketing strategies, and customer engagement. With MRI's OnLocation Footfall Analytics, retailers and landlords can track who's walking by, who's entering, and how customers behave once inside. Carla also emphasizes the growing role of AI—both personally and professionally—in shaping expectations around technology adoption and decision-making in real estate.What you'll hear: Carla Henson is the Vice President of Solutions at MRI Software, focusing on strategy and go-to-market initiatives.MRI Software is known for property management and supports clients across various segments, including residential and commercial real estate.AI is increasingly being integrated into personal and professional lives, enhancing productivity and decision-making.Visual AI technology allows for detailed foot traffic analysis, linking to existing security cameras to track customer behavior.Understanding foot traffic is crucial for retailers to optimize marketing strategies and improve customer experiences.Capture rates are essential metrics for retailers to measure the effectiveness of their storefronts and marketing efforts.Data-driven insights can reveal discrepancies in perceived versus actual customer demographics.The evolution of technology has shifted expectations from personal to professional environments, impacting how businesses adopt new tools.AI has been in development since the 1950s, but its accessibility and application in retail are relatively new.The future of data analytics in retail and office spaces holds significant potential for optimizing space usage and enhancing customer engagement.Chapters00:00 Introduction to MRI Software and Carla Henson07:25 The Role of AI in Retail and Personal Life10:58 Understanding Foot Traffic: Potential, Performance, and Optimization17:09 The Future of Data in

When Brian Niccol took the helm as CEO of Starbucks last fall, his mandate was to reverse a decline in customer traffic. He’s been rolling out changes in recent weeks. Niccol announced last month that the coffee chain would be reversing its open-door policy as part of something called the “Coffee House Code of Conduct.” That means no more sitting on the coffee house WiFi or squatting at a table without purchasing something. And yes, this will include use of the company’s restrooms (just about the only ones you reliably find on nearly every corner.) Niccol took the reins of the company last fall amid lagging foot traffic, and the code of conduct is just one of the changes aiming to right the company’s wobbling ship. To discuss the changes and their impact on Starbucks' business, Soundside was joined by Julie Creswell, business reporter for the New York Times, where she covers the food industry.

Episode Notes:Title: Market Imbalances, Grocery Retail Boom & The Fed's Next MoveHosts: Bryn Feller and Isaiah HarfEpisode Overview: In this episode of Net Takeaways, Bryn and Isaiah cover major trends in the commercial real estate market, focusing on key shifts in supply and demand imbalances, the grocery retail segment, and the Federal Reserve's influence on market movements. Here are the main takeaways:1. Market Supply-Demand ImbalanceThe hosts analyze the growing inventory in the net lease retail market, which has surged from $9 billion in 2022 to over $24 billion in 2024.The imbalance between available inventory and actual sales is stark, with projected full-year sales for 2024 at just over $10 billion, representing only 40% of the available inventory.Bryn and Isaiah discuss how cap rates need to rise further to help clear inventory and create stability in the marketplace.2. Grocery Retail: The Hottest SegmentGrocery-anchored retail is the current "hot" segment in commercial real estate, drawing interest from institutional investors, family offices, and private investors.The trio of grocery real estate categories—single-tenant, multi-tenant, and shadow-anchored centers—perform differently, with all segments remaining strong despite inflation concerns.The hosts attribute the strength of the grocery sector to its essential nature in driving foot traffic and supporting service-based retail, which has helped brick-and-mortar retail stay relevant.3. Shrinking 1031 Exchange Participation1031 exchanges, which previously accounted for 60-65% of the net lease market, are now down to around 15-20%.The hosts explore how the market is adapting to fewer tax-motivated investors and the emergence of yield-motivated buyers. They predict that 2025 will be a banner year for opportunistic investors, with substantial profits likely in both retail and office sectors.4. Federal Reserve, 10-Year Treasury & Geopolitical RisksBryn and Isaiah discuss how the market has pre-empted the Federal Reserve's actions, with the 10-year treasury yield reacting more to economic forecasts than to the Fed's moves.They anticipate oil prices could rise further due to geopolitical tension in the Middle East, potentially leading to inflation spikes that could delay rate cuts.5. Lighthearted Banter:The episode concludes with a humorous segment about Hurricane Milton, the hosts' personal routines, and a reference to BJ's late grandfather. Despite the seriousness of the storm's impact, the conversation provides a fun and humanizing moment.Key Quotes:"The real 800-pound gorilla isn't Chairman Powell, it's inventory levels. Cap rates have to rise if we want to clear this stock.""Grocery-anchored retail is the hottest thing out there right now. It's the industrial of three years ago.""2025 will be the year we look back and say people made a killing by buying in this market."Actionable Takeaways:Investors should keep a close eye on cap rate movements as the market seeks balance.Grocery-anchored retail remains a safe bet for long-term growth and stability.While the future of 1031 exchanges remains uncertain, yield-based investment opportunities abound.Be mindful of the impact that global events, particularly oil prices, may have on inflation and the Fed's next moves.Next Episode Preview: In the next episode, BJ and Isaiah will dive into new trends in logistics real estate and discuss whether the industrial sector will continue its upward trajectory or face new headwinds.Closing Remarks: Like, share, and subscribe to Net Takeaways with Feller & Harf on your favorite podcast platform.
