  1. 2014–2019

    Slow and steady

    For six years the chain grew by a few hundred bikes a year, mostly through repairs that turned into sales.

  2. 2019–2021

    The spring everyone cycled

    In 2020 sales jumped by more than half. The workshops ran out of frames by May and had a waiting list until autumn.

  3. 2021–2022

    The year after

    Many people had bought their bike. Sales fell back by a fifth, and the repair side kept the workshops busy.

  4. 2022–2025

    Growth that stays

    Since 2023 sales grow again, slower but steadier, and above the level of the boom.
