As the snow melts quickly away, many skiers are putting skis away and getting out their bikes. Last Thursday (March 17), I took my gravel bike out for my first ride. Though I skied the next day at Prospect, I’ve already made the “seasonal shift.”
As spring cycling season is getting started and people are thinking about riding their bikes, I wondered how local bike shops were doing with their inventories. Last year, when I was looking for a new bike, there were very few available and none in my size. Walking into many valley bike shops, I saw empty racks and thin inventory. Cyclists needing parts to fix their bikes had to be patient. The supply chain link was broken.
