Cycle to work schemes are so popular that bikes have been selling like hotcakes..
Bike manufacturers are struggling to keep up, says The Independent National newspaper. The Independent has drawn attention to bicycle shortages in the face of rising demand – which has, according to the paper, tripled in the past 12 months.
The article cites the good weather, and the ongoing success of the Cycle to Work scheme as major drivers behind the boom.
The paper says Giant, Trek and Specialized brands are worst affected by shortages, with some Ridgeback models also seeing demand outstrip supply.
