I wonder how many bike shops will be open following the stricter anti-virus measures.
Cycling is an approved activity, but it seems a stretch to me to say bike shops should therefore be exempt from the general business shut down.
Walking is also approved - does that mean shoe shops should stay open?
Evans has introduced some eminently sensible changes to enable their shops to continue to trade.
But I suspect the announcement in the link was made before last night's ramping up of the restrictions.
I might ring my local bike shop later to find out what's afoot.
Not that I need anything, but I do like to visit to shoot the cycling breeze, and I could do that while still being in full compliance with travel restrictions by taking the journey to the shop as my daily cycle.
I would need to maintain social distancing once inside the shop.
What's happening with your local bike shop, and what do you think should happen?
