2008 NBDA Statistics
- An estimated total of 18.5 million bicycles were sold in the United States alone.
- 44.7 million Americans age seven and older were estimated to have ridden a bicycle six or more times, according to the
National Sporting Goods Association.
- There were 3.1 million bicycles sold by 4,339 speciality bicycle retailers operating within the U.S.
The StandingCyclist Nickel Pledge Program is a work-in-progress collaboration between shops and choice
charities, across the United States. The concept is simple. Local bike shops and chain retailers pledge one nickel, per
projected bicycle sale, to a favorite cause each year. Based on NBDA current stats, this can result in nearly 1 million
dollars raised in support of special programs and organizations around the world. This is an exciting opportunity
for the cycling industry to collectively make a difference.
