On today’s episode, Richard Duquette talks about the concerns revolving around local bicycle consumers and retailers. How can they protect themselves from defective bicycles from other countries? Nowadays, competing manufacturers and retailers abound even in the internet. Tune in to Made in the USA Part 1!
Background of the SeriesThe US imported more than 7 million bicycles in 2012. Primary sources were China and Taiwan. Many of the units were attractive, but some were defectively designed and manufactured.
Unfortunately, the defects have the tendency to harm the bicyclist. If you try to sue the manufacturer, obtaining justice is cost prohibitive or too expensive. This is why this series aims to help identify general safety and legal issues.
The Need for SafetyAlthough these bicycles generate profits for corporations, genuine safety is still of paramount importance.
The Paper Napkin Case StudyThe bicycles were too thin and too narrow. The designer reportedly focused on aerodynamics, cost, weight, and ascetics. Safety, however, appeared to have been overlooked.
