Yep. I had to contact a 3 week list to call off all services. We've had an astonishingly busy few days with a lot of difficulty trying to highlight to people to keep proper etiquette to the point of telling people off.
I tried to highlight to the uppers that we should close doors but only be, by confirmed appointment, that we service bikes for those that are properly essential with credentials. Fell flat.
Irony behind all this is company was shutting us down as a business but all of a sudden their other subsidiaries are faltering and we're doing ok.
Do I think cycle shops are necessary. No. Do I think we can serve a purpose to those who are really helping out at this time and need it. Yes.
