MUSKEGON COUNTY, Mich. During normal times, the Bicycle Rack on Roberts Street in Muskegon would have 100 or more new bikes ready to sell as spring approaches. This year the store has 12, 6 kids bikes and 6 for adults.
COVID-19 wreaked havoc on the bicycle manufacture supply chains starting nearly one year ago. The result is a worldwide bike shortage that continues and may stretch into 2022.
