    No. Bike repair shops are essential.

    i suspect many shops could go back to the 'by appointment only' model which most used during the first lockdown.

    Penny farthing is open as I'm dropping my bike in for repair on Friday. The owner was on the 6 one news last time in the lockdown explaining it was an essential service as hospital staff and Gardaí are their regular customers and need their bikes repaired for work.

    I'm a front line worker and use my bike in work so it's essential I have my bike also.

    If it is just bike SALES, is it open?

    Or is every bike shop by default equal to sales and repair?

    during the first lockdown, many were dealing with repairs on an appointment only basis. not sure if that's what's going to happen now.

    the place i frequent - humphries in finglas - was unique, not just among bike shops, but with all shops i've been to; that in order to enter, you'd to unlatch a plastic chain with a warning attached to it to wear a mask, simply just to enter.
