Darn - my goto for odds and ends, spares, clothing etc..

It looks like teh bike sales was the (loss making) culprit though unless I've misunderstood.

I wonder if they will pop back with new owners though you'd think they can probably make more from parts and extras than selling bikes.

I think more and more bike outlets of various sorts are going to close. There can't be the demand there used to be.

Probably the biggest name in bikes to go first will be Harley. I hope not even though I've never been a fan of them personally.

For bikes probably, for kit there's still a big demand from JustDeliverUberEat (and GS riders).

PS Harley? I'll not be sorry.
