The coronavirus has had a huge impact on bike sales, which are reportedly booming at the moment. It seems that many people not only see riding a bike as a good form of exercise, but a way to avoid using potentially dangerous public transportation too. But with most bike shops currently closed, many of the sales are coming from online outlets such as REI. That means buyers will be assembling their new bikes on their own while at home, which could seem rather daunting to a beginner. Fortunately, it isn’t as hard as you might think, and thanks to this video you can be up and riding in no time.
