As usual I am delinquent in updating happenings. I came out of retirement in May and went back to work which has taken away any free time I had. We just finished the Winterville, GA show which had a pretty decent turnout for a small venue. Next up is the ‘meat’ of the fall season with Fall Memory Lane followed by Royal Oak in Michigan and then the Copake swap and auction. I’ve seen a bunch of nice bikes and material hit the market lately with mixed results. All hobbies experience ebbs and flows and the collectibles market, to include bicycles, is a little soft right now. I know some will say the hobby is aging out but I feel the real reason is inflation and the average collector just not having the disposable income for discretionary purchases. So what this means is we have a buyers market right now and if you have the means there are some great opportunities to add bikes to your collection you may not have otherwise been able to. I believe some world events are going to have to be resolved before we see a return to stability in the bicycle hobby but I remain optimistic. Regardless it is still great to get out, see friends, and ride a bicycle!
