I'm actually surprised it's 1 billion, when you remove children, elderly, people simply out of shape for a bike, people unable to afford a bike no matter how cheap, people with disabilities incompatible with bikes, that billion is like 75%+ coverage of TAM.
- bityard 2y agoIs that 1 billion adult bikes in particular? Because in the US, anywhere outside of big cities or college towns, children are ALMOST the only people who ride bikes regularly.
- saagarjha 2y agoLots of people have bikes who don’t use them regularly. It’s the kind of thing you have in your garage and bring out on a nice day sometimes.
- eru 2y agoSome good points. Many (most?) children have bikes, and lots of elderly people have some bikes somewhere in a shed back from when they used to be able to ride. Almost everyone can afford a beater bike. That's why they are so common in the third world. I'm not sure how out of shape you need to be not to be able to ride a bike? In any case, I wasn't wondering about how many people actively ride bikes. I was wondering how many bikes there are.
