About this episode
What is the global bike shortage? Thanks for asking!
Cycling has enjoyed a huge boom since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Local authorities have increased efforts to prioritise cyclists over drivers, creating new bike lanes and making other investments in this form of transport. However, a shortage of bikes has been affecting the whole world since 2020. This supply chain nightmare is still going on in summer 2021, and may be for some time.
What’s causing the global shortage? How long will I have to wait if I order a bike now? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
