Cycling trade publication BikeBiz has opened submissions for its 2027 Directory, the annual reference guide relied upon by shops, distributors and suppliers across the UK bike industry. Firms operating within the trade can now apply to have their details featured in the listings, which will land on subscribers’ doorsteps alongside the December 2026 issue of the magazine.
The directory is organised into a range of trade categories, spanning distribution and wholesale operations through to other key sectors of the cycling business landscape, giving buyers and industry professionals a single point of reference when sourcing suppliers or partners for the year ahead.
Businesses wishing to appear in the 2027 edition are being urged to get their entries in ahead of the deadline, ensuring they’re included when the guide goes to print. The listing service is provided free to those who submit, with BikeBiz compiling the entries into what has become a well-thumbed annual resource for the sector.
While this is very much a trade-facing initiative rather than one aimed at riders directly, it’s worth flagging to our readers because the health of the businesses behind such directories – from component distributors to independent bike shops – underpins everything from availability of spares to the advice you get on your local high street. A robust trade network ultimately means better service and choice for cyclists buying bikes, kit or repairs, so directories like this matter more than they might first appear.
