Great article! I had a similar notion a while back for ski shops. Here are a couple of additional ideas from that thought experiment.

1.) Deeper web presence. For example, why not sell coupons for services on the stuff people buy on the web?

2.) Subscriptions. Basically an add-on support fee for your bike. This makes sense for anyone who commutes, especially if you can make it trivially easy to collect. That leads to...

3.) Additional services. Combine bike parking in cities with on-going maintenance . This already exists in some cities.
