News bot Posted May 9 Share We’ve all heard the rumblings of a global crisis in the bike industry. Full warehouses. Company-wide layoffs. Cut-price sales. Business closures. We were curious to know how this is playing out on Bike Hub. Is it truly all doom and gloom? How are the community of buyers and sellers on Bike Hub being impacted? Will the economic crunch drive up demand for ‘cheaper’ second-hand goods, or will blowout sales and price cuts on new models see the second-hand market struggle?
