Nike Who would believe that the American staple of sneakers has fallen victim to the supply chain disruption? Nike has been hit by a number of supply chain issues including shipping container shortages, port backlogs, and a lack of workers—which will likely lead to a shortage of Nike products. The company warned customers on a recent earnings call that the production and delivery of its goods around the world would be reduced through at least the spring of 2022.
Bicycles As a result of the lockdowns, bicycle demand hit the roof, and they became extremely hard to find. It seems as if Americans rediscovered their love affair with two wheelers. This was a healthy past-time activity due to its inherent social distancing nature. It was expected that after the quarantine measures ended, bikes would again be in plentiful supply…which ended up being wrong. Cycling industry experts are predicting that bike shortages will last until at least the end of next year. It seems that there is a global component shortage, which has a knock-on effect on supplies of complete bikes.
There have been factory closures and disruptions to the supply chain since the pandemic; additionally, unprecedented worldwide demand for bikes have contributed to create an unprecedented bike shortage. Demand has never been higher, but it cannot be met in the short term—and perhaps not the long term either.
Drugs ASHP.org, a pharmaceutical tracking company, lists 192 drugs in short supply. They range from Albuterol inhalers to lidocaine, belladonna, and opium suppositories. It’s important to note that this is an incomplete list and that many more items are actually in limited supply and haven’t yet been reported.

“...and opium suppositories...”
My world is about to come crashing down.
IF NIKE closed tomorrow I would be thrilled.
No better example of why its not a good idea to send USA manufacturing oversea.
A shortage of opium suppositories would somewhat explain the increased number of azzholes running about.
I worked there and I second what you said. They're a bunch of hypocrites.
Agreed. My kids bought me a pair for my birthday. Sent them back for a refund.
Will this alter the murder rate in American Democrat Cesspool Cities where the protected class routinely murder one another for their child forced labor made Nike shoes?
If every bicycle was manufactured in the U.S. I’ll bet most of those bike stores would still be starving for new inventory.

The most basic of bike components; chains, tires, brake pads, are in short supply and in some cases simply not available. Bike manufacturers all use components from the two major parts companies, Shimano and SRAM. With parts in short supply, I don’t know what these bike manufacturers do. You can’t sell a bike that’s incomplete.
They can take my opium suppositories when the pry them from my cold, dead...
Oh, never mind
And where are nikes made again? Why, in XI’s paradise.
Literally LOL! Thanks, I needed that!
Shortages of underwear, toilet paper and opium suppositories.
This is getting serious.
Did they run out of slave labor?
They probably make more money on repairing old bikes than they do selling new ones.
I...can’t...stop....laughing (nor my hub)😅
Parts are short, too, I guess. I have 4 old bikes, all need tires ....
