IRVINE, Calif. (BRAIN) —The National Bicycle Dealers Association extended the application period for the 2019 America's Best Bike Shops program through Aug. 31.
Now in its seventh year, ABBS is a peer-evaluated award program that the NBDA says recognizes exemplary bicycle stores that meet the highest performance standards in the industry.
Businesses that earn the distinction of America's Best, the most significant credential of its type for independent bicycle dealers, receive an official certificate, marketing signage for their shop, and digital marketing materials for their websites and social media.
Winners will be notified by email, as well as announced online and by news release, on Oct. 1. In the absence of the Interbike trade show this year, the NBDA is looking into options for a date and location to host a celebratory America's Best Bike Shops awards ceremony and reception.
