Cycling enables you to travel without using public transport, and in relative isolation. Moreover, with all this motor traffic now off the road cycling has never been safer. The good news is that bicycle shops are remaining open so that key workers, and the rest of us, are able to purchase a bike or get our own bike repaired. In light of the present crisis we are all facing, I hope some of you posters on this newsgroup who haven't previously had a good word to say for cycling will stop and reconsider your views on the subject. It's obvious that Boris and our government recognise the importance of cycling - if you missed out on toilet rolls, don't miss out on your lycra gear as well. Halfords is to close down all its cycle republic shops permanently. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/new...tores-17930577 Halfords say the closures, which are due to complete in the first half of the next financial year, will cost the firm between ?25 million and ?35 million. Grief - I'm glad that's nothing to do with me. |
