Bicycle boom boosts bike path expansion By Blythe Alspaugh - balspaugh@aimmediamidwest.com SIDNEY While many industries were hit hard by the pandemic in 2020, the bicycle industry saw many people returning to handlebars and two wheels for an escape. “This has been miraculous. In all the years that I’ve been in the bike business, I never thought in a million years that this industry would benefit from a COVID epidemic (sic),” Bob Stomel, director of sales for the Huffy Corporation, said. Stomel, who was the featured speaker for February’s Riverway Conversations held through the Great Miami Riverway, gave a presentation on the history of Huffy, industry trends, and how the pandemic created an unparalleled and unexpected demand for bicycles. According to Stomel, bicycles were deemed essential during shutdowns due to the fact that they fall under transportation, and in turn kept several retailers open because they sold bicycles.
