[Closed] Brexit To Lead To More UK Manufactured Bikes?

balfa · 2021-01-07T13:29:30Z

Just read this and it looks like bikes now must have 50% EU or UK-sourced parts to qualify for tariff free export to the EU from the UK.First though that came to mind for companies like Bird, Cotic, Stanton etc was that this might lead to more bikes/parts being used on 'UK Made' bikes to allow export tariff free to the EU? Bikes now must have 50% EU or UK-sourced parts to qualify for tariff free export to the EU. I assume companies like Orange and Hope will be relatively unaffected. Will it push Cotic to use Five Land bikes for more manufacturing now? Also I assume the same applies in reverse i.e. if you buy an Canyon I can't imagine much of that is made in the EU.

The point is that it was definitely a minority of the population who voted for the current shit-show.

But the majority voted for, or didn't even bother to cast their vote.

My family made the effort to wander down the road after work to vote no to brexit, but a lot didn't, sadly we have an antiquated voting system as well which causes a lot of people to see it as too much effort, and now we are facing this.
