Bicycles are still in hot demand since they first started flying off the shelves at the beginning of the pandemic.
In St. George, where there are miles of trails to ride, bicycles remain in hot demand almost a year into the pandemic. But there’s still a lack of supply.
The increase of people riding bikes be it electric, mountain or road has been noticeably “through the roof” in St. George, according to Marc Mortensen, vice president of the Southern Utah Bicycle Alliance.
“They re flying off the shelves,” Mortensen, who also works for the city of St. George, said. “The pandemic created a huge demand and there wasn t enough supply chain to feed the demand.”
