Yeh, not that many. The countering pressure will be on bike shops, with stock delivery delays from mfgs - on the scale of 8 week, 10 week and 14 week delays. A 14 week delivery delay starting mid-March is more than half the summer missed.
So, slightly more volume on the used market, primarily for lower-end gear. And guess what else? Significantly increased repair costs because shops have to stay in business somehow without new stock deliveries to sell.
Net shakeout? Higher consumer costs except where consumer is knowledgeable enough to do their own repair work, including wheel truing and derailleur adjustment.
I'm not sure how, but the shop I go to, which is a Trek dealer, has not experienced many delays in delivery. Trek are not built in China and I wonder if that has much to do with it. I know a lot of the parts are, however.
And their repair shop is as busy as it's ever been.
I've seen lower level bikes, but also a TON of e-bikes going out the door.
I'd love to see more commuters on bikes, e-bikes, whatever. I also hope that our local trail systems expand to accommodate those out on the trails, because if I'd have to guess, usage has increased by at least 300% in the six years I've been riding here.
I like Strava because I like to track miles, but I also honestly get a boost when I look at how I stack up against women my age in particular, and it makes me grin a little . Sometimes, when I ride with women who are younger and faster, I can get pretty discouraged. So for me, Strava gives me a boost and inspires me to put a few more miles in and push a little harder.
