On Oct. 5, Gazelle, the Dutch bicycle company, suffered a fire that destroyed its parts and accessories warehouse in Dieren. The causes of the fire are under investigation. Other buildings were saved and production was not disrupted. The warehouse, which is now reduced to ruins, had been opened in 2005. The monumental, original Gazelle facility, built in early 20th century, suffered no damage at all, as it is located at a distance. The company has another warehouse for parts and accessories in a nearby village. A temporary hall for P&A storage will be built on Gazelle's premises while a completely new warehouse will be constructed as soon as possible, the company said. The delivery of bikes to dealers will not be affected by the fire.
