Founded in 2005 Velobic was initially one shop, then a second was added. But soon, the owners realized the business was too seasonal and resolved to diversify. They decided to get into the bike courier and messenger game. In 2009, one of the owners, Rimvydas Butkus, spent three months at a bike courier firm in the Austrian city of Graz. He wanted to test the idea and put together a solid business plan. He outlines what he gained from the experience: “I learned how to target customers, who would use this service, doctors, dentists, small printers … I acquired all the ‘know how’ to manage this type of business, and it also helped me learn more about the cycling culture in Western Europe”.
