My LBS will be open for emergency repairs.

 

*edited to state the fact it’s only for emergency repairs.

My LBS will be open for spares and repairs so maybe just check with your LBS... 

 

Who is your LBS? My local is closed and I need someone to true a wheel for me.

 

I have a gravel bike on order that's not shipping until suppliers are open again, so that's making me pretty sad.

I see 'The Sweat Shop' is open as of today.... I'm sure shops can apply for permits.

[Mamil]

I would imagine they are opening under the regulation that allows sale of winter clothing.

Probably for 'winter clothes' as opposed to bicycle repair ...

[the nerd]

Emergency repairs only.

 

Appointments need to be made.

I would be highly interested if any other bike shops are open besides the one nerd refers to? And if they are under which of the lockdown rules/regulations would it be possible ...

 

Just yesterday CSA commented that it was not possible on their FB page

 

I guess if you bent the interpretation of the rules enough you could do almost anything ..

 

I don't know of any 'cyclists' that are commuters and essential workers in our area but what do I know [emoji12]

[Jewbacca]

Ja.... Probably. 

 

Selling some fleece and fur slippers.........

Car dealerships will be open, why can’t bicycle shops not be open???? Asking for a friend

Good luck Oom. I wouldn't follow what CSA says, but I'm not a fan of theirs...

Because cycling is "elitist"

 

Another form of punishment this useless government is dishing out

[nathrix]

I get the feeling that a lot of spitefulness are built into the decisions of some of these ridiculous lockdown regulations.

I see Salomon stores are open, as well as Builders wearhouse.....

 

Salomon also shipping if you buy on line.

 

Either they have gone 'rogue' or government is allowing small teams and small business back with the right permit application.
