I think the last big bike boom was in the mid-70's. It happened because of:
*cheap light 10speeds hit US shores for 1st time *US bicentennial, with its urge to 'ride across the
country' *high gas prices *low-traffic backroads *plentiful public culture: living downtowns,
nonlitigious property owners, generous campsite finding, cheap tentsites
What will inspire the next boom?
*I don't know!
