If you enjoy cycling, we have some bad news for you. The country’s largest bicycle retailer has closed its doors. On March 2, the last of its 104 locations closed. Last fall, Advanced Sports Enterprises filed for bankruptcy. It hoped to save at least half of its locations at first by attempting to renegotiate leases. Unfortunately, it had no choice but to fold and shut down the business.
