l recall two distinct and separate bike booms- Tho the early-mid 70's boom was significant & probably resulted in the greater number of sales, to my recollection,the first and by far the craziest post-war bike boom was during the mid-60's when bikes of any & every kind and quality were being sold out of shopping center parking lots , warehouses, gas stations, appliance & hardware stores, etc. as fast as they could be unloaded from the truck. I seriously doubt that there was any way of accurately accounting sales by the industry at that time.
