Overview
Bike & Outdoor Company (B.O.C.) is a German bicycle retail chain founded in 1999. The company operates a network of more than 40 stores across Germany as well as an online shop for bicycles, e-bikes, accessories and cycling apparel. Its headquarters are located in Hamburg-Wandsbek. B.O.C. is one of the largest bicycle retail chains in Germany. The company began as a stationary bicycle dealer and developed into a multichannel retailer combining physical stores with online commerce. Each store features an indoor test track, and stores of up to 5,000 m² offer a wide selection of brand-name bicycles alongside accessories and clothing. B.O.C. also carries private labels in the bicycle, accessory and apparel segments, including Bicycles, Bocas, Compel, CFP and Otix. In 2010 B.O.C. acquired the southern German bicycle retail chain Bikemax/Skimax. The acquired locations were initially continued under the previous brand and gradually integrated into the B.O.C. store network by 2023. Since the 2010s the company has continuously expanded its store network and established online retail as an additional sales channel. In 2017 B.O.C. discontinued its winter sports range to focus entirely on cycling. In addition to its more than 40 stores, mainly in northern, western and southern Germany, B.O.C. operates a logistics centre in Hanover. The headquarters moved within Hamburg in 2012 from Neuland, south of the Elbe, to Wandsbek. B.O.C. offers workshop and repair services, free first inspections, satisfaction and money-back guarantees, bicycle leasing through partners such as JobRad, BusinessBike, ServiceLease, Lease a Bike and EasyBikeLeasing, and services such as Click & Collect and bike size calculators. The company positions itself with the slogan "B.O.C. – Da fahr ich am besten!" and emphasizes a try-before-you-buy approach with indoor test tracks in all stores.
