San Francisco says bike repair shops are 'essential' and will remain open
San Francisco’s shelter-in-place ordinance has been a bit confusing. Are cannabis dispensaries considered essential, since, for many, they are medicine? What’s included in outdoor exercise? Can you still ride your bike?
Today, the Mayor’s office clarified that bike shops will be allowed to be kept open, as many San Franciscans use their bicycle as their main mode of transportation. “Clarification for those who have asked: just as auto repair shops are considered essential so people can conduct essential travel, so are bicycle repair shops and mobile bicycle repair companies. Social distancing and consistent cleaning requirements continued to be required,” a tweet read Thursday morning.
