Then, lastly, there's the cherry on top that is Brexit and the extra import paperwork required since Jan 2022 so that we can get the exception from duty for EU made products, all this takes time to process and that costs yet more money.

I asked Chris Brattle, Thule brand manager at importer Madison Cycles, why the EasyFold had gone up so much in the last couple of years. Although slightly bulkier than thin ribbons, standards are not permanently attached to the ribbon mount and can easily be slid on and off. The electricity bills for Thule's factories in Germany and Poland have almost quadrupled since 2020. It's hard to argue with that. Decathlon cited similar factors recently when the price difference between the same bikes in France and the UK was pointed out. The British bike market has suffered a perfect storm of inflationary factors in the last couple of years and it's probably going to get even worse in the next few months as retailers raise prices so they can pay their power bills.AB32, AB36 - AB38, AB40 - AB42, AB55, AB56, FK17 - FK99, G83, HS1 - HS9, IV1 - IV29, IV33 - IV63, KA27, KA28, KY1 - KY16, KW1 - KW18, PA20 - PA49, PA60 - PA78, PH17 - PH26, PH30 - PH44, PH49, PH50, ZE1 - ZE4 Tell us what the product is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work. He was heavily involved in the mountain bike boom of the late 1980s as a racer, team manager and race promoter, and that led to writing for Mountain Biking UK magazine shortly after its inception. He got the gig by phoning up the editor and telling him the magazine was rubbish and he could do better. Rather than telling him to get lost, MBUK editor Tym Manley called John’s bluff and the rest is history.
