Often this includes final assembly and essential safety checking of bikes bought over the internet. While many local bike shops struggle to survive as retailers of bikes, accessories and clothing, others succeed with skilled servicing and repairs. As cycling has again become more popular big on-line retailers like Wiggle (with a vast warehouse in Wolverhampton) have boomed and prestigious cycle showrooms have appeared in City Centre shopping centres. Even the bright orange, Raleigh badged, Big Birmingham Bikes are manufactured overseas at a factory in the USA. The West Midlands was where the bicycle was invented and cycles were mass produced here for world markets until corporate restructures, asset stripping and competition from new low waged industrial economies in Taiwan and mainland China made them the very successful world centres of cycle manufacture. They have recently announced an e-bike version of the iconic little bike.
Brompton are now the largest manufacturer of bicycles in the UK with great brand recognition among the chattering classes and an enviable export market.
When government ministers and journalists want a quick visit and photo opportunity at a "manufacturer" they often seem to pop down to Chiswick to visit Brompton's handy new factory.
Making the West Midlands Great Again need not only be about HS2 and Jaguar Land Rover's photogenic luxury cars or the bubble around electric vehicles (EVs) and speculation about autonomous vehicles (AVs). When so much of the "growth" funding coming into the Midlands being tied to Local Enterprise Partnerships and now the "Devo-deal" it is useful for cycle campaigners to be able to also engage with local politicians and supporters in terms of investment, jobs, skills, engineering and sustainability. Not to be outdone the Bike West Midlands Network has always promoted the economic value of the cycle industry in all its manifestations and we want to encourage a revival of cycle and component manufacturing in the area.
