Bicycle Shortage Nationwide

 With people steering clear from public transit and other opting for healthier commute due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic finding a bike is a bit challenging. Also because of the quarantine, sports and health clubs are closed, sports seasons were cancelled and children were kept home from school.

According to a Walmart executive, bicycle sales have been stronger because of warm weather. “We have been enjoying serving customers with their bike and bike accessory needs throughout these difficult times,” Reid Thornton, Walmart senior buying manager-wheels, said in an email. “Our customers want to get outside of the house and exercise and enjoy sunshine with the entire family.”

Adding to the problems is the closing down of Asian supply chain for more than two months which many U.S. retailers rely on. Nothing was being produced or shipped or anything. People wants outdoor activities to fight off the boredome of stay-at-home orders.
