With the ever-increasing gas prices, more people are actually digging their 10-speeds out of the shed. It should be no surprise that the high gas prices are causing bike sales to go up. This great news if you own a bicycle repair shop or if you sell bicycles in general. For instance, according to a recent article published in The Frederick News-Post out of Maryland, more adults are buying bicycles…and not for their kids either..for themselves!

According to one employee at Goodwill Industries in the Frederick area, no bicycles could even be found at the store. They are being sold almost as quickly as they are being donated. In fact, many of the customers who are purchasing bicycles both new and used have been telling store owners and associates that their purchase is a direct result of the skyrocketing gas prices. So, now people of all ages are getting their old bikes tuned up and ready for the roadways. In some cases, riding a bicycle to work might not be viable. However, for performing other menial tasks such as running (or riding) up to the store or going to visit a friend, a bicycle might do just fine.

One thing is for sure, the more people who are out there riding a bicycle every time that they could’ve driven a car are not only cutting down on pollution as well as saving some money; they’re also getting some exercise, which is good for your health.
