Cyclist Repair Center

Executive Summary

Cyclist Repair Center (CRC) is a cycling specific sports clinic serving the Boulder, Colorado community. Cyclist Repair Center has been founded by Arthur Mendosa-Cadiz. Arthur created the center as a Colorado registered corporation in January 2004. Cyclist Repair Center is expected to quickly gain market penetration through a focused strategy, doing what they do best, serving cyclists.

The Market
Cyclist Repair Center has identified two distinct customer segments which they will target. The first segment is the competitive cyclist. Within this segment there are two subgroups, those that are professionals and those that are experts. There are a total of 4,500 potential competitive cyclists with an annual growth rate of 4%. This group is seeking therapeutic repair/recovery services or training services to make them more competitive in their races.

The second group is composed of recreational cyclists. This group has 32,090 potential customers and a 5% growth rate. These cyclists may race occassionally, but generally they are just people with a passion/enjoyment for cycling. The demographics for the recreational cyclist indicate a more affluent group relative to the competitive cyclist since cycling is not one of the more economically rewarding professions.

Cyclist Repair Center has chosen to locate their center in Boulder, CO. Boulder is renowned as a high mountain sports town and cycling is one of its favorite sports. Boulder offers hundreds of miles of road cycling directly out of town. As for mountain biking, there are too many trails to count, all within a few minutes drive or ride from town. Recognizing the importance of Boulder relative to cycling, the United States Cycling Federation has located their olympic training center here.

Services
Cyclist Repair Center offers a wide range of cycling specific sports medicine and training services that range from the proactive to the reactive. Offered services include:

  • Sports massage- for greater comfort as well faster recovery.
  • Personal training- for weight loss, increased speed, or increased endurance.
  • Bike fit- for increased comfort, power, or speed.
  • Fitness assessment- includes such tests as: VO2 max, lactate threshold, aerobic threshold, anaerobic threshold.
  • Cycling related injuries- diagnosis and treatment by physicians and physical therapists.

Cyclist Repair Center will have on staff a USCF Category I or II racer turned personal coach/trainer, a sports medicine physician, massage therapists, physical therapists, as well as a wide range of cycling specific equipment to assist these service providers.

Management
Cyclist Repair Center has been founded and will be led by Arthur Mendosa-Cadiz. Arthur has been immersed in cycling for years. Starting after undergraduate schooling, Arthur was a competitive cyclist for several years while working in the bicycle industry. These years racing provided him with tremendous insight regarding cycling and its effects on the cyclist’s body. Arthur then earned a Master’s in Sports Physical Therapy and practiced physical therapy for several years. Arthur will be able to leverage his passion and experience for bicycles, as well as his empirical experience as a physical therapist to offer Boulder a wonderful cycling service.

By locating in Boulder, a cycling town, and offering focused services targeting different types of cyclist, Cyclist Repair Center will quickly generate customers and revenue. Revenue for years two and three is $369,000 and $443,000 respectively.

Services

Cyclist Repair Center offers a wide range of cycling specific proactive and reactive solutions for both the competitive and recreation athlete. Specific services include:

  • Sports massage- the massages can be either full body or cycling specific. Massages are valuable for recovery, greater flexibility, and increased comfort.
  • Personal training– this service will fully customize a training program for a cyclist. The trainers are very good at addressing the needs of the cyclist whether it is for weight loss, increase in cardiovascular efficiency, increase in muscle strength, increase in comfort, or race specific training.
  • Bike fit/ergonomic services– Cyclists will bring in their bicycles and shoes for this assessment. Posture/positioning on the bicycle, bicycle sizing, pedal spin cycle analysis, strength and flexibility will be evaluated.
  • Fitness evaluation– the following tests are offered:
    • VO2 max
    • Lactate threshold
    • Aerobic threshold
    • Anaerobic threshold
    • Wattage output

  • Cycling related injuries– this includes assessment, diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation. A physician and physical therapists are available for these services.

Cyclist Repair Center accepts most major insurance plans for therapy and reactive services. Other more proactive services like training and massage are often not accepted for insurance, but this is a function of the insurance plan, not the unwillingness of Cyclist Repair Center to accept insurance.

Market Analysis Summary

Cyclist Repair Center has identified two distinct market segments which they will target: competitive and recreational cyclists. The two different segments will be attending Cyclist Repair Center for distinct reasons and therefore will be targeted specifically. The sports clinic industry typically is not sports specific, a facility generally does not focus on a single sport.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Cyclist Repair Center has chosen to target two distinct customer segments; competitive cyclists and recreational cyclists.

Competitive Cyclists– these are cyclists that compete either at the professional or expert level. For the cyclist at the professional level cycling/racing is a full time activity where the individual’s income is from cycling. The expert level cyclist is competitive within his or her racing class but does not earn their livelihood by racing. Some compete every week, others compete several times a season. They are competitive in either their cycling class or in their age group.

  • Some demographics of Boulder based professional cyclists:
    • ages 23-33.
    • educational level- 67% have an undergraduate degree, 8% have a graduate degree.
    • individual income range is $24,000- $50,000. This range does not include other sources of income such as product sponsorship/endorsement.
    • the average number of bicycles owned by the professional is six.
    • the average length of a professional career is six years.
    • 17% of the professionals have trained with the olympic national team.
    • 77% of the cyclists are road cyclists, 12% are track cyclists, the remaining percentage are both.

  • Demographic information for expert level competitive cyclists:
    • ages 26-54.
    • educational level- 75% have an undergraduate degree, 26% have a graduate degree.
    • individual median income is $55,000.
    • the average number of bicycles owned is 3.5.

Recreational Cyclists– these cyclists enjoy cycling, ride a lot, but are seeking services to make them faster in general or more comfortable when they ride, not to be more competitive. They may also be seeking clinic services to address a cycling specific problem that they have.

  • Demographic data:
    • ages- 29-62.
    • educational level- 79% have an undergraduate degree, 28% have a graduate degree.
    • individual median income is $62,000.
    • the average number of bicycles is 4.
Sports therapy business plan, market analysis summary chart image

Market Analysis
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Potential Customers Growth CAGR
Competitive cyclists 4% 4,500 4,680 4,867 5,062 5,264 4.00%
Recreational cyclists 5% 32,090 33,695 35,380 37,149 39,006 5.00%
Total 4.88% 36,590 38,375 40,247 42,211 44,270 4.88%

4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy

Cyclist Repair Center has identified and targeted these two segments because they are the most likely cyclists who would be in need of a wide range of cycling specific therapeutic and training services. The competitive cyclists are in need of these services to remain competitive. Cycling over the last decade or so has become increasingly more competitive. A larger degree of this increased competition is the development of junior programs which seek to introduce cycling to younger children. As cycling completions have beguin to introduce drug controls and testing over the last few years, cyclists have begun to compete on a more level playing field.

At the recreational level there has been a surge in participation over the last decade as well. This surge is due in part to American’s recent focus on health and fitness, to a large degree a reaction to the obesity epidemic. Another driver of increased participation is the low impact nature of cycling. Many athletes have moved from other sports such as running, tennis, etc. to cycling as a form of excellent cardiovascular and aerobic fitness that has a low impact on the body.

The two different segments, competitive cyclists and recreational cyclists participate for different reasons, additionally their level of participation is different. This makes the decision to target each one separately intuitive.

4.3 Service Business Analysis

Cyclist Repair Center participates within the sports medicine/therapy industry. The industry participants are characterized by clinics that specialize in sports related injuries. It is very rare for a clinic to specialize on one specific sport. Sports clinics are a huge industry, especially in a sports town such as Boulder where a large percentage of the population lives in Boulder because of its incredible access to various individual sports.

On a national level the sports medicine/therapy generates over $576 million in revenue. Approximately 17% of this revenue is from professional team (primarily) sports with the remaining percentage coming from individual athletes. Revenue from the nonprofessional side comes primarily from reactive treatments, meaning the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of known problems. A smaller percentage of revenue comes from proactive activities like increasing strength, speed, and cardiovascular efficiency.

On a national level, it is not uncommon for sports medicine clinics to also offer the following services:

  • Chiropractic work.
  • Podiatry services.
  • Orthopedic surgical repair.

4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns

Cyclist Repair Center faces competition from several different sources:

  • University of Colorado (Boulder) Sports Medicine Center– This is a large clinic that is based on campus but is available to all athletes. Because of its connection with the University, this is an educational research/training center which means many of the service providers are shadowed by students, or have students assisting clients.
  • USA Cycling Olympic Training Center- This facility is only available to invited cyclists who are participating on the team or in Olympic trials.
  • Boulder Sports Center– this is a large sports clinic that specializes in orthopedic procedures.
  • Colorado Mountain Sports Facility– This facility has a wide range of available services with a concentration on high altitude training, offering several large training rooms with oxygen concentrations set up to simulate 12,000 feet. In addition to the training rooms, there are several “high altitude” sleeping rooms for athletes. The concentration on high altitude training is based on the theory that there is value in having the athlete train and even sleep in environments of decreased oxygen, forcing the body to become more efficient with the available oxygen concentration.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

Cyclist Repair Center intends to leverage their competitive edge of cycling specific services. This should be effective because of its location in Boulder, a true cycling town. Cyclist Repair Center’s marketing strategy will seek to develop an awareness of the cycling specific services offered to both competitive and recreational cyclists. The sales strategy has been designed to convert clients of one service into recipients of multiple services provided by Cyclist Repair Center.

5.1 Milestones

Cyclist Repair Center has established several milestones for the organization as a whole as well as for departments within the organization. The milestones have been chosen as identifiable and achievable objectives. The following table provides the time frames needed to complete each milestone.

5.2 Competitive Edge

Cyclist Repair Center’s competitive edge is their specialization on one sport, cycling. No other facility in Boulder serves only cyclists, all are general sports clinics. This is of significant value to Cyclist Repair Center’s clients. All of Cyclist Repair Center’s staff are cycling enthusiasts. This is quite important because it provides each service provider with a unique and instrumental cycling perspective. This is valuable to the clients because it provides insight to the providers of the problems the clients may be facing. Additionally, as cycling enthusiasts, the staff’s excitement regarding cycling is contagious and apparent.

Having a cycling specific service also allows Cyclist Repair Center to offer more specific training and therapy, including the use of a specialized array of cycling specific equipment. One example of this is the use of the CompuTrainer. While some facilities may have a CompuTrainer, Cyclist Repair Center has three and uses them extensively. A CompuTrainer is a type of cycling trainer where the client mounts their own bicycle to the unit and the CompuTrainer allows the person to ride indoors. What makes the CompuTrainer especially useful is the ability to set it to test physiological functions such as aerobic threshold, lactate threshold, etc., on pre-established, consistent courses. In addition to these functions the CompuTrainer has the ability to measure wattage as well as analyzing the pedal spin cycle.

5.3 Marketing Strategy

Cyclist Repair Center’s marketing strategy has been designed to increase the awareness of Cyclist Repair Center’s cycling specific services amongst the Boulder community. Several different efforts will be undertaken to generate brand awareness.

  • Sponsorship– This effort takes several forms.
    • The first form of sponsorship is for local tours and races. This will be quite helpful in developing visibility for the organization to a very specific and targeted crowd.
    • Sponsorship will also take the form of specific athletes. Chosen athletes will receive free services from Cyclist Repair Center. In return for the sponsorship, Cyclist Repair Center gets visibility on the athlete’s uniform and the athlete is asked to talk up the positive benefits that he/she has received.

  • Advertisements– The advertisements will also take several forms.
    • The most broad is an advertisement in the Yellow Pages. The Yellow Pages are an indispensible resource for individuals who are looking for service providers.
    • Advertisements will also be placed in several cycling specific and local Boulder journals. These advertisements will again be targeted toward the cycling community.

5.4 Sales Strategy

The sales strategy will be piggybacked on the marketing strategy. The marketing strategy will be used to generate visibility for the organization while the sales strategy will be used to generate increased sales. The most significant way (relative to increased revenue) is to convert current clients who are using only one service from Cyclist Repair Center to using multiple services. This may take the form of a client who came in for sports massage services who then becomes a user of the training services. This will be done through “upselling” by the various service providers as well as written information dissemination. Economic incentives in the form of discounts will be used to convert current single service clients into multi service users.

5.4.1 Sales Forecast

Cyclist Repair Center has developed a conservative sales forecast as a means of increasing the likelihood of achieving the sales goals. This also will assist Cyclist Repair Center in its relationship with investors who will want the sales goals to be met. If the sales forecast was too aggressive then the investors are likely to be disappointed. Sales will grow incrementally. As a start-up organization, it is anticipated that the first year will be relatively slow as the organization develops awareness and brand equity. Year one to two sales are expected to have the largest increase with the growth rate decreasing a bit from year two to year three.

The goal of the website is to impress upon the reader that Cyclist Repair Center is the premier cycling specific sports clinic addressing any need a competitive or recreational cyclist may have.

6.1 Website Marketing Strategy

Cyclist Repair Center will employ two types of marketing for the website. The first is submission to various search engines. This will be quite important as there are many people that use search engines to locate information. If someone is unfamiliar with Cyclist Repair Center and their services, all they need to do is is type in a few key words into a search engine and they are brought to Cyclist Repair Center’s site.

Another source of marketing will be inclusion of Cyclist Repair Center’s URL on all printed material. This will direct current or prospective customers to check out the site for additional information.

6.2 Development Requirements

A computer science student has been informally contacted and has agreed to be responsible for the design and development of the site. The time frame for development is six to eight weeks.

Management Summary

Arthur Mendosa-Cadiz comes from a cycling background with an educational emphasis in sports physical therapy. Arthur received his undergraduate degree in philosophy from Colorado College. After graduation he moved to Boulder and worked in a bicycle shop to support his cycling habit. This habit took the form of both road and mountain bike racing. On the road Arthur was a Category II racer, competing every other week. When he was not competing on the road Arthur raced mountain bikes in the pro/expert class. Arthur spent four years racing. This provided Arthur with incredible insight to cycling and the needs of a cyclist.

Recognizing that he could not sustain his racing throughout his life, at least not at this intensity, Arthur decided to go back to school to provide himself with skills for another profession. Wanting to remain within the sport industry, Arthur entered the University of Colorado’s Master of Sport Physical Therapy. This program was for two years and Arthur would be able to practice sports physical therapy when he was done.

This is exactly what he did, he practiced physical therapy for six years at a large clinic. While Arthur found this rewarding, the constant interaction with clients and assisting them with their sport, something was lacking. At this point Arthur began to contemplate a business venture that would leverage his existing skills of physical therapy, allowing him to focus on cycling, his passion. Arthur spent a total of a year in contemplation and writing a business plan. When Arthur began to show the plan around looking for investors, he found them reasonably quick. He was told that they were interested because they thought Boulder had a wonderful market and that Arthur was the right person to execute on the plan, he had the passion and skills to make it work.
