PeopleForBikes has formally requested tariff relief from President Trump for various bicycle-related goods amid ongoing high tariffs. The letter highlights the challenges faced by the U.S. bicycle industry, which relies heavily on foreign suppliers for its components. With tariffs previously imposed reaching as high as 145% on certain imports, the industry faces difficulties in maintaining a viable domestic supply chain. The organization emphasizes that building domestic manufacturing capabilities will require considerable time and investment, particularly during financially challenging times for businesses in the sector.
While America once made all of the bicycles we need, this has not been the case for several decades.
Difficulties moving the supply chain for bicycles, parts, apparel, and accessories persist. Each bicycle may have 200 or more component parts sourced from foreign countries.
