It's wonderful to see that cycling is booming, although it's sad to see that all of these injuries are also occuring.

There has been a bicycle shortage in my town as well. It seems that the current supply chain issues are exacerbating this problem.

With COVID and its ensuing variants forcing people outdoors to recreate, many bike shops have juggled this greater demand with increasingly unreliable inventories. And the bike and component shortage that began in 2020 continues to cause havoc. investing in a good quality helmet and providing a cement driveway bike lane also a factor to decrease injuries and keeps the bikers safe.
