Annually, More Bicycles Are Sold in the United States Than Cars

Bicycle sales are increasing in the United States! Statista.com reports that in spring 2017, the number of Americans who have been cycling within the last 12 months amounted to 66.21 million. The number of cyclists/bike riders has increased 19 million from 2008 to 2017. Regarding sales, more than double the number of bikes are sold each year than passenger cars. Where passenger car sales are on the decline, bicycle sales have been increasing since the 1990's. In fact, new bikes have been outselling new cars in the United States for most of the last 20 years.

The following chart illustrates the number of cyclists and bike riders in the United States from spring 2008 to spring 2017.

From Him, Through Him, For Him (Romans 11:36),
