I guess we'll need COOL (Country of Origin Labeling) for bikes, like we have it now for produce and meat

My 1970-ish Raleigh Ltd-3 was made by Gazelle in the Netherlands. none of my bikes except my Orbea have a sticker on them stating where it was made.

That's all there is to it. Stop putting those "Made in..." stickers on the bikes and then people will just buy the one they like and ride it.

or, Put a "Made on Planet Earth by humans" sticker on them.
