Bikes in the age of tariffs (renehersecycles.com)

You’ve probably seen the news: Virtually all imports into the United States will be subjected to additional, steep import taxes, also called tariffs. The goal is to radically re-orient how manufacturing is done, and to make things domestically. Tariffs tend to be reciprocal, so most countries will increase their tariffs on American-made goods, too.
