Norway 2012: Cycling Market Remains Sports Only

OSLO, Norway - The 2012 bicycle season started positively with an all-time high for sales volume in the first quarter, due to a fantastic March. But sales dropped in April, when the monthly rainfall in Norway was 145% higher than normal. The months of May and June were also quite cold and wet. Then sales picked up again in July, August, and September thanks to warmer weather with less rain.
