But they are almost sold out, and can't get more anytime soon. So, just as the virus will likely hit us with a "second wave," I wonder if there will be a big slump in the bike industry, once inventory is completely gone.
It's not just a bike shortage.....
the ports were sitting very empty back in Febuary/March anyone paying attention. You guys are just seeing the bike shortage because It directly effects you (your hobby/passion). Tariffs have nothing to do with a shortage. Tariffs only raised the cost of said bikes.
