Adult bicycle sales are down to just 1/3 of what they were before the covid boom, and new bike sales are still declining.
I drive a van so when me an the lads go for a ride, we load 3x Carbon Fibre road bikes in the back and drive to the bike path. A shame there isn’t a safe route to the bike path either. All three bikes are worth more than my van.
