Poll: September cycle sales

Posted on in Cycles News , Polls & Results

As an industry that continues to be reliant on good weather to help boost sales, how well did the cycles sector perform in one of the driest September's on record?

Retail sales continued to grow strongly in September, albeit at a slower pace than in August, a survey shows.

The Confederation of British Industry's September Distributive Trades survey shows sales were slower than in August and disappointed expectations of very strong growth. They were, however, higher than in July.

The net reported sales balance for September slipped to 31% from 37% in August. Sales are expected to remain strong in October with a net 26% of retailers predicting a rise in volumes.

How did your bicycle sales compare? Let us know by taking part in this month's poll.
