If we can take the dearth of bikes for sale during the pandemic as an indicator of growth in popularity, I would say the US is experiencing a biking boom. I've been trying to buy a mountain bike for my kid for the past four months unsuccessfully. Local shops are just out of stock at least for bikes below $1k.

Bikes are low margin items, which means they probably ship by container, are also shipped seasonally, so even possibly the delay of one or two ship loads in early Spring could disrupt the entire industry.
