Probably one of the greatest globally-impacting factor, right there.

I wonder what percentage of all bike components come from mainland China and Taiwan. I know that I've purchased a couple parts that shipped out of Taiwan, since this COVID thing started. Took several weeks beyond what I'd expected, though (from the tracking number's "delays" in-transit) much of that was clearly sitting in regional transfer/distribution points as they got quarantined along the way.
