Get Ready for a Very Long Wait,The United States is facing a shortage of bicycles as anxiety over public transportation and a desire to exercise has sent the demand surging" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/18/nyregion/bike-shortage-coronavirus.html A friend of a friend, who's retired but was working part time at an LBS was furloughed in March. Now the store is begging him to come back to help keep up with demand for repairs and assembly. This does not appear to have improved the Craigslist market. Are people so independently wealthy that they can afford new bikes?
