Yet another blow to the western bicycle market as companies move operations east where labour is cheap

I actually had no idea that Raleigh was producing anything in North America. Is is sad nonetheless that more manufacturing is being sent overseas.

I live close to Waterloo, I have a friend who worked there. It's sad news but not a big surprise.
