Perspective.
America
is entering its third great bicycle revival in 150 years thanks to
coronavirus
Quartz:
“…Thousands of people are getting back on their bikes after an
extended hiatus: Appointments to tune up old rides are booked weeks
into the future. Bicycle trips on trails across the US rose 57%
throughout March and April compared to 2019, according to the
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. There are new converts, too. Bikes
under $1,000 have been almost impossible to keep in stock. REI,
a national outdoor gear store, said it is selling four times as much
cycling equipment as the same time last year, including adult bikes,
kids’ bikes, and accessories. “We do not expect sales to slow
down in the near term, as long as supply can keep up,” wrote REI
merchandising manager Ron Thompsen by email. But supplies are
stretched thin. Most bikes are manufactured in Asia, and the
coronavirus shutdown slowed production just as sales picked up.
Across the US, market
research firm NPD reports sales of bicycles and shop services
shot up to $733 million in March, a 44% jump over last year.
Families and fitness fans are the biggest buyers: Sales of
recreational bikes rose 121% to nearly 250,000 in March, while
stationary exercise bikes and indoor stands nearly tripled to about
200,000 units. Far from a modest blip, this bicycle boom may have
staying power. It’s the third great bicycle boom in American
history, and it’s poised to reconfigure the layout of American
cities…”
The
risk of mirrors?
