Yeah, the industry was very busy for a couple of months last year and then the supply chain failure caught up to them and it has been very sparse since then. I don't know any retail business that can keep going comfortably with nothing to sell, and the bike industry is very dependent on the spring/summer selling season. This is going to result in a lot of closed shops. Either because they were barely hanging on or they have large rents to pay.
This information is out there. Someone that is attuned to the bike industry even a little knows it. I am surprised a year on that anyone that has posted 1000 times on this forum could be surprised about it.
