I work at a bike shop for fun and also a main e-bike company. Everyone thinks this is great and that they are so lucky but in reality it's not at all. We sold 2200 bikes a month while before about 300 to 400. Problem is, bikes and parts are almost impossible to get now after the 3rd month of Covid. Now shops are going under because they have nothing else to sell nor can they work on bikes for service because due to lack of parts. Another thing is trails and roads are completely overcrowded now while these new riders are not learning the rules of the road. It's starting to become a major issue.

Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing safe, protected bike lanes and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school or ride for fun.

In my city, St Petersburg, FL, USA, there is a bike store, which, by the way, has a recent youtube video that does not allow comments. I visited the store and bought a minor part, a master-link pair. I also visited another bike store in my city. My general impression is that they are not "stores" but may be more properly called "boutiques." For example, bicycle helmets are priced at about $100.00. I paid over $6.00 for a chain link that I could have purchased in a hardware store for about $4.00 in a package of two links. Other bicycle items were similarly, premium priced. Their customers, in the boutique during my visit, were well dressed and middle-aged. The clearly did not use a bicycle for transportation, but for pleasure or sport. I think that, in America, today, bicyclists are either hobbyists, students, or very poor people who use it to carry all their possessions on the rear carrier-rack and basket. They are not average, middle-class, adult Americans. As we, as the people of an imperial, militarized nation become poorer, more of us carry what we have left on our rusty bicycles.

I am in Indonesia, experiencing same events. Bicycle demands so high, already put my name on waiting list for the last 3 months but still don't get the bikes. In here, Polygon is the favorite brand for entry level bikes. Unfortunately, if I am not patient enough I have to pay 20 - 40 percents more from retail price for same bike at secondary market.

It has sucked working during this time. Huge demand and people getting mad at me for bikes we just can’t get. Some popular bikes are now on back order till April. It’s pretty much impossible to find a 24” kids bike or any adult bike under $1000. So if you looking for a bike these days it’s slim pickings so your going to have to drop your expectations or your going to have to wait a long time

These are not bike shops...these are frame companies. Local bike shops are a much different business. Extremely misleading!

The tradeoff of having production oversees is in full display here. If they were manufactured in locally, you could hire more people and keep the demand in line with supplies.

It's crazy that only a few months of no production throws off the whole process by more than year even with over production after it. Ripples are crazy

When you have your own brand of bike and multiple retail locations and warehouses you're not a bike shop, you're a manufacturer. Their stories have only a tangential relationship to what is going on in actual bike shops.
