Thank you @KerryMP - we are very grateful.

.@KerryMP asked why bike frames and parts imported from America have been caught up in a Boeing/Airbus trade war, (and are being charged 25% extra on importation to the UK), and also anti-dumping duties which will lead to cheap Chinese bikes in the UK.

PQ from @KerryMP

What assessment has the Government made of potential effect on British bicycle manufacturers and retailers of additional customs duties on imports from the US of products used as bicycle components.

@IndependentBic2 @BikeBizOnline @marksuttonbike @KerryMP This is very bad news for UK bicycle importers and could seriously dent the current cycling boom sparked by lockdown. Potentially good for British brands such as @CoticLtd @atherton_bikes and Geometron though.

@greencommuteuk @marksuttonbike @PhilCavell Some of them have multiple shops.

What next for the Bicycle Dealers' Association? https://t.co/6s0ZT9k8S2

@carltonreid It’s real Carlton. 25% tariff on bicycle frames and forks and rims and selected components from USA. How EU decided that bicycle frames were an appropriate levy target because of dispute between aircraft manufacturers? The irony.

[Bicycle Dealers Association @IndependentBic2]

Heads-Up everyone! This affects us. 25% on USA bicycle frames and components. How on earth has this flown in under the radar? @BikeBizOnline @marksuttonbike ⁦@KerryMP⁩ https://t.co/3nSKbEB5Rz

[Bicycle Dealers Association @IndependentBic2]

So the industry that reduces pollution suffers damaging tariffs because the most polluting industry go to war? How could this happen? https://t.co/3nSKbEB5Rz

Why cycling is good for everything from retail sales to property prices (Streets with LTN style furniture see house prices rise)

We were sick of lockdown – so cycled from Land’s End to John o’Groats - our clients do remarkable things on their bikes. We need to make sure we are around to support them! https://t.co/u3Z61S6NNa

We have just signed this. The cycle to work schemes are great for employees and the people that run the scheme but not so good for the bike shops. We welcome a review. Hopefully amended administration would allow for fairer distribution of funds and more people cycling.

We are over 100 signatures already. Almost 5% of bike retailers in one week! https://t.co/tekPYIiAb1 via @UKChange

Bike shops look set to once again be “essential” nationwide indicates @chhcalling in response to @BicycleAssoc dialogue calling for a repeat of first lockdown. Bicycle industry praised for its role in keeping nation moving: https://t.co/t1jVFMck0K
