On average, bike shops in major urban areas bring in $57 per capita. However, this number may be slightly inflated since data on bike sales is by Designated Market Area (see page 29) which measures metropolitan areas rather than cities. By dividing bike sales for a metropolitan area by the population of the major city in that area, results are likely to be slightly inflated for all cities. Despite this limitation, the data reveal that areas with more-populous cities tend to have higher per capita bike sales. This is in line with results from the graph on page 31 showing bike shops by city population.

Cities that have the smallest ratio of people to bike shops include Boston, Minneapolis, Seattle and Oakland. Boston has the most bicycle shops per capita with one bike shop for every 3,591 people. Charlotte has the fewest per capita bike shops with only one bike shop for every 339,196 people. Data for this illustration is an estimate only because marketing data is collected by DMA (Designated Market Area) and not by city boundary. For DMAs with more than one major city the number of shops was divided by the population of each city according to their relative populations. Because all DMAs include the metropolitan area around cities, the number of bike shops may be slightly exaggerated, but should provide a general comparison. 13,610 Tucson 16,227 Omaha 18,026 Los Angeles 18,350 Memphis 18,621 Phoenix 20,151 Fort Worth 20,315 Chicago 21,199 San Diego 21,581 New Orleans cities Sources: ACS (2005), Survey of Buying Power (2005), Lifestyle Market Analyst (2006), The Bike Shop List, Estimates by the Gluskin Townley Group, LLC 26,127 Detroit 26,258 New York 27,657 San Francisco 28,535 Portland 28,603 Washington 28,653 Oklahoma City 28,695 Denver 28,916 Columbus 37,333 Nashville- 39,494 Long Beach 41,453 Cleveland 41,657 Dallas 41,920 Baltimore 43,386 Fresno 45,150 Houston 47,873 Virginia Beach 48,461 Austin 53,855 Colorado Springs 57,249 San Antonio 58,870 Indianapolis 65,681 Miami 123,482 Tulsa Charlotte Major cities average one bike shop per 33,663 people.
