But that has been coupled with a global shortage of bicycles and parts as manufacturers are closed around the world.
Usual stock levels are not expected until September or even next year.
‘It has been interesting to say the least,’ said Ian Brown, co-director of Ian Brown’s Cycle Shop.
‘Our resources are fully stretched, with repairs booked up to August. Our technicians are also building new bikes for customers as fast as they can.
‘There are extreme shortages or total sell-outs of key models from all the major brands and this is a global issue.
‘The route out of these shortages is not a short one, with many predictions it will take until next year to get back to normal supply.’
Some supplies have been secured from various sources.
‘We have left no stones unturned and are managing the increase in demand as best we can.
'Even now, though, we are finding fewer and fewer opportunities to buy more stock, so July, August, September is going to be interesting.’
An Adventure Cycles spokesman said most models and bike parts are out of stock because countries around the world are still affected by Covid-19 and unable to manufacture them.
‘China has gone back into lockdown again, as well as other industrial countries, and there is a world shortage of bikes.
‘Guernsey has reopened so it can seem like everything is dandy, but we are looking at waiting until September until production and our stock levels are back to normal.
‘Parts are running scarce too.
‘It’s not just us though, we are all fine here but the world is still pretty dire.’
Shortages are especially unfortunate after several months of closure.
‘We are also super-busy at the moment, so please bear with us.’
