Show Notes
Pascal sat down with Andri Hafen to talk about Bikehub, bike shops and the future of helping people getting the most out of their bikes. As one of the core mountain bike shops in Zurich, Bikehub has been serving the local community for more than a decade and it was great to hear Andri's perspective on the shop and the sport over the years. From bikes, equipment and riders, to the challenges of a small, independent bike shop, community and the opportunities to offer a better service in the future, all the way to his own path into the bike industry and to his own business, we cover it all.
The conversation with Andri was recorded in local dialect. As we've done in other episodes, Bryson and Pascal exchange a few thoughts about the topic in general and recap some of the highlights of the conversation with Andri for our English-speaking listeners. If you do understand Swiss-German, you can also just skip forward to the main part (starting at about minute 18).
