Global bicycle stocks chart Q2 2021:
Still riding the waveDue to the Covid-related closures, the focus in the first quarter of 2021 was still very much on alternative mobility products. This shifted somewhat in the second quarter.

Global bicycle stocks Q1 2021: The soaring continues
While most of the existing problems caused by the Corona crisis have yet to be resolved, the global stock market is relying on hopes — hopes for a bright post-Corona future.
