Did You Know? - Bicycle and Bicycle Accessories Spending Has Grown 620% from 2020 to 2023

May 29th 2023

With June almost here, it is time to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, and it could be another big year for the bicycle industry. It is no secret that the COVID pandemic resulted in many people finding different ways to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. However, did you know that from March 2020 to March 2023, bike spending has increased a massive 620%, adjusted for inflation. Additionally, in the last year, total national household expenditures on bicycles and accessories have remained around $8.0 billion per month (adjusted for inflation) [1].

The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also reported that due to the increased demand for bicycles, there has also been in increase in the imports of bicycles. The total value of non-motorized bicycles imported increased from 0.5 million in March 2020 to 1.0 billion in February 2023 (this was adjusted for inflation) [1].

As such, with the summer weather almost here in most of the United States and Canada, bicycle riders are reminded to take all the necessary safety precautions before going out on their bicycle, including abiding by the rules of the road. Additionally, motorists are reminded to be vigilant in looking for cyclists, and to share the road.
