疫情期间美国人疯抢自行车供应商库存告急

可网上订购、易维护的自行车品牌Priority的创始人戴夫·韦纳说，这星期他每天都要在公司的纽约店面接单到凌晨一点。他们公司的网络销售模式被证实在这个疫情时期非常吃香。

"Demand has been tremendous, not only because more people are looking for a good social distancing activity and alternative modes of transportation, but also because people don't want to go into stores and we sell bikes online," Weiner said.

韦纳说：“需求量巨大，不只是因为更多人在寻找保持社交距离的活动和其他交通方式，还因为人们不想去商店，而我们在网上销售。”

Thank home-schooling, the closure of big office buildings and shuttered gyms for the sudden surge, NPD Group senior sports industry advisor Matt Powell said. "It's a good recess activity and people are looking for exercise they can do and still social distance and that falls right into the bike business for sure."

NPD集团的体育行业高级顾问马特·鲍威尔说，自行车销量突然大增要感谢在家上课、办公大楼和健身馆关闭。“骑车是一种很好的休闲活动，人们在寻找可以在社交隔离条件下进行的运动方式，这种情况正好对自行车行业非常有利。”

Still, there's a downside to the crush of new orders.

当然，堆积如山的新订单也有不利的一面。

"We are selling out of everything we have, which sounds amazing, but is not as good as it sounds because then you don't really have anything to sell," Weiner of Priority Bicycles said.
