What started out under a different name and ownership has been reworked as Bike 20/20, helping both independent bike shops and the major brands sell last season’s models at a steep discount. The model benefits everyone, helping the dealers and companies clear out aging inventory, and the rest of us can get a killer deal on a new bike.
The site shows whether the bike is for sale directly from the manufacturer or from a local shop, whether they can ship it directly to you, or if you’ll need to pick it up from a local dealer for that brand. Whether or not the bike shop can ship its inventory to your door is up to the shop and any restrictions the brand has on “internet” sales, but by and large their catalog gives you access to a whole lot of bikes. Brands like Focus, Cannondale, Pivot, Specialized and more are showing up on the Bike2020.com homepage.
