“The bike industry is collapsing!” is probably the impression you’d come away with, if you believed everything you heard on the internet. However, a little like Chicken Licken (who, in the popular children’s folk tale, believed the sky was falling down after an acorn fell on his head), you’d be believing something of an over exaggeration. Interestingly, most of these over-exaggerations appear to come from individuals who don’t actually work in the cycling industry. 

Undercover Mechanic: Contrary to popular belief, the bike industry is not collapsing – but disinformation is rife

Cycling Weekly’s Undercover Mechanic will be publishing his thoughts on the state of the industry once a month. He’s been working with bikes for over two decades, offering servicing on models from some of cycling’s best (and worst) marques. You’ll find him at all major trade shows and events, just don’t expect him to make himself known.
