The top five jobs in the bike trade this week – 10th April

BikeBiz, a prominent industry publication, reported on April 10th that its jobs board facilitated over 570 placements in 2025, with listings continuing to climb. The platform showcased its "top five jobs" this week, including a Senior Mechanic position for a "busy, well-established, boutique bike workshop" located by a river, catering to local riders and rowing clubs. This highlights a sustained demand for skilled labor within the cycling retail and service sector.

This consistent volume of job placements and rising listings underscore a robust, if perhaps niche, employment market within the cycling industry. Despite broader economic uncertainties, the specialized nature of roles like senior mechanics suggests a healthy ecosystem of independent workshops and retailers who require specific expertise to maintain and service increasingly complex bicycles. It reflects a sector that continues to professionalize and expand its service offerings.

Evidently, the bike trade remains a viable career path for those who can turn a wrench, or, more accurately, calibrate a Di2 system. The industry’s gears, it seems, are still turning, and they need hands to keep them greased.
