I'm not sure we can fault them. Bike sales suddenly jumped something
Â*like 75% over the previous year. Even if a bike company had all the
Â*necessary stock on hand - which would be impossible - it would be
very tough to ramp up production by such a large amount.


Going to flood the second hand market in 12-24 months :-)


When we were helping a guy find a kid's bike back around June, that's
what one shop guy told us. "If you wait until next year, they'll all be
on Craigslist."
