If they are so are Halfords. I'd be interested to know if independent bike shops are experiencing a slow down. Very much not the case at my LBS - they can barely cope with all their customers - but they are very good so perhaps not typical.
I suspect the market is maturing and even more recent converts to cycling are going for fancier bikes from independents or custom options and this might be why Evans et al are suffering. But I have no evidence for that.
