on the state of the UK cycle industry suggests that bike sales have slumped once again, months on from the national trade association reporting they had fallen to a 20-year low in 2022.
Concerningly, the numbers come from a low start point, last year seeing bike sales in the UK dropping to the lowest level in two decades, 27 per cent below pre-Covid levels as the cost of living crisis gripped.At the time the Bicycle Association warned the UK's cycling industry would suffer more"turbulent" and"challenging" times in 2023 and would need"to weather a difficult storm".
E-bike sales particularly were mentioned as being disappointingly low, associate director of the Bicycle Association David Middlemiss saying the UK"continues to lag behind much of Europe". The report notes that e-bike sales have fallen further behind European sales, with consumers on the continent embracing them faster than here in the UK."This report shows that the UK e-bike market offers significant growth prospects, but continues to lag behind much of Europe," said Middlemiss.
