.@KerryMP asked why bike frames and parts imported from America have been caught up in a Boeing/Airbus trade war, (and are being charged 25% extra on importation to the UK), and also anti-dumping duties which will lead to cheap Chinese bikes in the UK.

Replying to @IndependentBic2 @BikeBizOnline @marksuttonbike @KerryMP
This is very bad news for UK bicycle importers and could seriously dent the current cycling boom sparked by lockdown. Potentially good for British brands such as @CoticLtd @atherton_bikes and Geometron though.

We have just signed this. The cycle to work schemes are great for employees and the people that run the scheme but not so good for the bike shops. We welcome a review. Hopefully amended administration would allow for fairer distribution of funds and more people cycling.
