BICYCLE RETAIL

Listed on the Table of restrictions, vehicle and mechanical repair services is considered an authorised service.
Bicycles are considered vehicles under Victorian legislation
It is the interpretation of the BIA that this, like the previous stage 4 Victorian metropolitan restrictions, allows Victorian bike shops to continue to provide bicycle repair but not general service to bicycles during the lockdown.

Listed on the table of restrictions -' click and collect' service is authorised, allowing bike shops to operate click and collect service - but not allow customers into their stores.
If you choose to continue to operate bicycle repair or click and collect, a stringent Covid safe plan must be in place.

All non essential staff not directly required to repair the bicycles or supply of click and collect goods must work from home.

Masks are mandatory in all indoor and outdoor spaces outside your own house.
