2023 will be a difficult year for the bicycle industry, says Rose Bikes boss Thorsten Heckrath-Rose. But not for the manufacturer from Bocholt.

In an interview, he talks about business prospects, the danger of new bottlenecks and dependence on China. After significant price reductions in November, Rose Bike sees the possibility of price increases again. In the current fiscal year, we expect to produce and sell around 30 percent more than in 2022, he says.
