What happens to be two meters in length? You guessed it \u2013 a bicycle. Bikes are a great way to exercise, get some fresh air and stay social at an appropriate distance. So, it is no surprise that bicycles became one of the hottest commodities of 2020\/2021. This was an interesting time for all of us as the bike reached a whole new level in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:0\"><strong>Navigating the Bike Boom back in 2021<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The demand for bicycles had risen dramatically on a global scale. This high demand led to a shortage in supply. Before bikes were assembled, numerous parts, often made at different factories, were shipped to the manufacturing location. This typically took <a href=\"https:\/\/qz.com\/1999046\/why-its-so-hard-to-get-a-new-bike-right-now\/\">four months<\/a>. But by May 2020, factories were straining to meet the demand for bicycles \u2013 some factories going towards a 6-month lead time, then to 8, and later, to a whopping 12 months. As stated on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/why-is-there-a-bicycle-shortage-its-got-a-lot-to-do-with-why-fireworks-are-scarce-11622751152\">marketwatch<\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0806ab5c wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-right-color:var(--wp--preset--color--primary);border-right-width:3px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--primary);border-left-width:3px;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">\u201cBike sales rose 78% on the year between January and March, after rising 38% during the same period last year, according to Dirk Sorenson, sports industry analyst at NPD Group, a market-research firm.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">Some industry projections put 2023 as the year that inventory quantities will return to normal. The early bird got the worm, as usual, when it comes to getting a high-demand product. But that doesn\u2019t mean you couldn&#8217;t snag your dream bike during this Great Bike Boom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"><strong>5 Tips for Buying a Bike back in 2021<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the kind of tips you got during the bike boom in 2021 when bike shops were out of stock. Luckily it&#8217;s not the case anymore. However, certain things haven&#8217;t changed since. Thieves are still on the lookout for bikes &#8211; more than ever with the increased amount of valuable bikes on the streets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-montserrat-font-family\"><strong>Research:<\/strong> Before you visit your bike shop, write down some models and brands that interest you and why. Make a list of the ways in which you will use your bike. Are you commuting? Is this for exercise on a bike path? Mountain biking? This step is key, as it will help you get ahead start on buying a bike. Starting as early as possible in 2021 is ideal, but you can still snag a great bike if you come to the bike shop with a clear view of what bike will suit your needs. It will help you be flexible, which brings us to the next point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-montserrat-font-family\"><strong><strong>Don\u2019t make your mind up too early<\/strong>:<\/strong> Remember to be flexible with your purchase. If the bike you were looking for is not in stock, the bike store staff will most likely be able to find you a bike that will suit your needs-and maybe even make you happier than the bike you landed on online. Think of it as bike speed-dating. Listen to what this bike can offer you, decide if it\u2019s what you are looking for, and make the decision.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-montserrat-font-family\"><strong><strong>Move swiftly<\/strong>:<\/strong> If you are sold on a bike, but are the type that likes to really think things over-try to act quickly. Bikes are selling out fast, and you don\u2019t want to lose the opportunity to buy a great bike. Again, researching your purchase beforehand will give you the confidence and knowledge to make a good decision more quickly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-montserrat-font-family\"><strong><strong>Try giving an older bike some love<\/strong>:<\/strong> This is a good option for those who are in the market for a new one, but haven\u2019t landed on anything they love yet. Again, due to a supply shortage, spare parts could be an issue even when fixing an old bike. However, this can typically be done more quickly than waiting for a new bike.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-montserrat-font-family\"><strong><strong>Secure your bike<\/strong>:<\/strong> This step is often overlooked. You\u2019ve got the bike, you\u2019ve got your helmet and your stylish accessories, but the last thing you want is your shiny, new bike stolen during a Bike-Boom. If you are reading this, you know just how hard it is to land a new bike. So, make sure your bike is secured.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-b0bab6eb wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-right-color:var(--wp--preset--color--primary);border-right-width:3px;border-left-color:var(--wp--preset--color--primary);border-left-width:3px;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:75%\">\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color has-montserrat-font-family wp-elements-b760070193c8b35c7708f29a2e36f80b\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">&#8221;If stolen, you may not be able to get another bike right now in 2021. Make sure to invest in a good bike lock.

However, it is not enough to just have bike insurance since the Bike-Boom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to increase your chances of retrieving your bike, should it get stolen.
