What are you thinking, CYCLING RELATED, on tariff subject

[5oakterrace]

I am 68. I figure I have so many years of biking left. My bikes are rim brake, 10 speed. Just bought the last frame I figure on buying. Rim brake, 70 percent off. I have lots of back up parts. The cost of chasing the gains offered by the new stuff is not worth the benefit to me. So I am not really affected by potential tariffs on bikes.
I am curious how the tariffs will affect Time bikes place as Time just opened a factory in South Carolina. They have a faster production capacity now, as well, which should lower their costs.

This is social media, if I ever get offended by something on here then that's my problem. I was just amused by it all.

LOL, that would earn me the nickname of "thread killer" here.

Reading through this thread as an interested consumer/part-time shop worker, it seems as though I should stock up on socks.

It was the will of the people who bothered to vote. If we can't force the rest to participate in Democracy, if we can't entice them to join in, then we get what we deserve.
I saw a reddit post that showed Texas and Oklahoma votes if those votes that didn't happen but could have counted as a candidate. That unknown candidate won both states easily.

i'm thinking i have enough 10 speed chains in the hoarding bin to not give a hoot what happens for many years to come. and at that point, i'll probably be on an e-bike made by tesla in texas, so no tariff worries.

Isn't that what just happened?

Having just visited a land where they put mayo on frites, I’m proud to say I am opening my mind to more adventures that involve fries.

Welcome to Canada, where we pay duties and taxes on almost everything we buy.
