LYNNWOOD, Wash. (AP) — Bicycle store owners in Washington state have raised concerns over a shortage that is leaving racks empty across the country as more people are buying bikes during the coronavirus pandemic. KING-TV reported that Gregg’s Cycle General Manager Marty Pluth says most of the racks are empty and the remaining bikes have already been sold and are awaiting pickup. He says the wait to buy a bike is now at least four to six weeks. Pluth attributes the increase in demand to the coronavirus pandemic. Industry experts believe it will take another year or two before supply catches up with demand again.
