The shop I work in is almost out of bikes. We have several stores and there exactly 373 bikes total available. Most of them are the higher end models or little kids bikes. Mid range mountain bikes are sold out and only XL or XS left in hybrids and comfort bikes. Repairs had been whittled down from 5 weeks out to 3 weeks out, but we had a resurgence yesterday and are pushing out at 4 weeks again. The owner has clamped down on OT so the repairs are going to sit out there the full 4 weeks this time around. My guess is he is worried about availability of new bikes and needs to conserve on labor dollars to make it through until bikes are available again. Parts suppliers are starting to run into the same issue.
