I don't think there is a price bubble either. A price bubble assumes that prices are being driven up beyond what they should be. Economic times are hard and maybe more people want to ride so inexpensive bikes become a little more valuable. I don't think the demand will become overwhelming because the new manufacturers can meet it and the upper limit for price on a good, used utility bike will be held in check by the price of an inexpensive new bike.

Meh. The cult of the fixie is dead. All hail the cult of the cargo bike!
