The most recommended shops
On 11 November 2026 we asked Claude, with web search, 15 questions a Danish shopper might type when buying a bike online, and asked each question twice. These are the shops it recommended most often across the 30 answers.
| Shop | Recommended in (of 30) | Named first |
|---|---|---|
| Cykelonline | 26 | 2 |
| Cykelexperten | 21 | 15 |
| Canyon | 19 | 0 |
| Fri BikeShop | 14 | 6 |
| Bike4sport | 11 | 0 |
| Jupiter Cykler | 10 | 0 |
| Dania Bikes | 8 | 2 |
| Holland Bike Shop | 7 | 0 |
| Bikester | 6 | 0 |
“Named first” counts the answers where the shop was the first one mentioned.
Mentioned most is not the same as mentioned first
Cykelonline came up in 26 of the 30 answers but opened only two of them. Cykelexperten was in fewer answers, 21, yet it was the first name in 15. Fri BikeShop opened six answers, mostly to questions about the best shops, quality and alternatives to the big ones.
A brand that only sells online
Canyon was recommended in 19 answers, the third most of any shop. It is the only bike brand in the top of the list, and the answers described it as a German brand that sells only online, with a Danish site. It was never the first name, but it came up in every answer about range, price, fast delivery and free shipping.
Sustainable means second-hand
Both answers about sustainable bikes and both about alternatives to the big shops pointed to used and refurbished bikes. BikeRecycle.dk, buycycle and DBA came up in all four of those answers and in no others. Cykelonline, the most recommended shop overall, was in none of them. The questions about reviews were both led by Dania Bikes, and Cykelexperten was missing from the answers about reviews, customer service and smaller shops. In total the answers named 48 shops.
The top is stable from round to round
Asking the same 15 questions a second time gave almost the same top: Cykelonline was recommended in 13 answers in both rounds, Cykelexperten in 11 and then 10, and Canyon in 10 and then 9.
Reviews and price comparison were the main sources
Claude cited Trustpilot pages in all 30 answers. The price comparison sites PriceRunner and Prisjagt were cited in 21 answers, usually as a tip to compare prices on a specific model. They are not counted as shops in the table.
What it means for an online shop
Thirty answers can’t tell you why one shop is picked over another. They do show that being mentioned often and being mentioned first are not the same thing, and that some questions, like sustainability, lead to a different kind of shop altogether. If you sell bikes online, make sure your site says plainly what you are best for, whether that is range, price, advice or used bikes, in text and in schema.org data, keep your reviews active, and consider an llms.txt file. To see where you stand today, measure your AI visibility on the questions your customers ask.
Method
- Date: 11 November 2026.
- Assistant: Claude with web search. Each answer came from a fresh session that knew nothing about this study or the other answers.
- Rounds: each question was asked twice, 30 answers in total, all of which came back.
- Counting: a shop counts once per answer it is recommended in, however often it is mentioned there. Spellings of the same shop were merged. Brands that sell directly are counted as shops; brands mentioned only for their dealer search, directories and price comparison sites are not.
- Limits: answers vary from day to day, and other assistants such as ChatGPT and Gemini may recommend other shops. The numbers describe these 30 answers, not the market.
