Hello,

Our son told us that in New York City that within a couple of days after the initial announcements were made, all of the reasonably priced bikes had been sucked up. People didn’t want to ride public transit/taxis or be stuck without a way to get around if the streets were closed to non-essential traffic.

Locally, the co-op where I volunteer, has a large repair backlog due to demand and limited staff. They’ve also suspended all volunteer programs and classes. They take repairs only via curbside drop off. Only one retail customer is allowed in the shop at a time when they call ahead for an appointment. I can’t just drop in when I need a part.

Sounds some areas are doing OK, while others are struggling.


Stay safe and sound.

Cheers,

Van
