#ProPlanetBusiness

The pandemic threw up multiple challenges to the bicycle industry. The retailers were worst affected by the lockdown. On one hand bicycle sales were soaring because of the advantages it offered to society during the COVID wave, on the other hand the stores had to close and not be able to service the need. This created the need for KBDA to resurface, go to the Government of Karnataka and ask to be considered a necessary service. KBDA is an association wich will have 500 bicycle dealers across the state of Karnataka as members very soon. It aims to future proof the state and take bicycling in the state to the next level.
