The cycling industry’s jobs market shows no signs of slowing, according to the latest figures from BikeBiz, which reports that its jobs board has already helped fill more than 570 positions across 2025 alone. With listings continuing to climb, the platform has once again rounded up the five most sought-after vacancies currently doing the rounds in the trade.
Topping this week’s selection is an Operations Lead position at Tweed Valley Bikes, based on Innerleithen’s High Street. The shop sits at the heart of one of the UK’s premier off-road riding destinations, and offers a comprehensive retail and service operation catering to the thousands of mountain bikers who flock to the Tweed Valley’s trail centres and enduro routes each year.
The remaining four roles span a mix of retail, mechanical and commercial positions, reflecting a trade that continues to diversify even as some high street shops face pressure from online retail and squeezed margins elsewhere in the sector.
For riders, a healthy jobs market in bike retail isn’t just an industry statistic u2013 it’s a reasonable proxy for the health of local shops that keep bikes on the trail and road. Well-staffed workshops mean shorter waits for servicing, better pre-season tune-ups, and knowledgeable advice when choosing new kit. Locations like Innerleithen matter doubly, since a strong retail presence supports the wider trail network and local economy that riders rely on when visiting one of Scotland’s best-loved mountain biking hubs.
