Covid-19 Garage Queens of the Future
 

In the Fifties (i.e. the 2050's) what brands and models of bikes are going to be the most popular and collectible garage queens that were bought in the Covid-19 global pandemic only to be tucked away in garages and basements and never ridden?

BSOs, low-bucl TREKs, & similar.

Surly.

Huffy

Most anything under 1k, and probably not really collectible.

Yep, mostly BSOs, "comfort" bikes and such, will never be collectible.

Pelotons

Mr Peabody and Sherman consulted yet? :lol:

That reference is probably lost on a lot of people.

for the lost > Episode #1 > a stoner's intro to WAY BACK world :)

Maybe a Doctor Who, or Back to the Future reference , then ..

Probably a bunch of the e-bikes after their batteries wear out and stop holding a charge and their owners can't be bothered to replace them. What's the most popular e-bike in the last couple of years? Probably that one.

Drop bar mountain bikes and flat bar road bikes.

Mortality tables say I’ll likely be dead by the 2050s. And I doubt I will ever have a garage.

I doubt it matters. I've been told that all of the Chinese bicycle and component factories were shut down for 3 months so it's a supply issue rather than bikes being bought up by non-riders.
