Sex clubs, cannabis cafes, saunas, and some shops will be shuttered from 6pm on March 15, and Bruins said it is likely they will not be allowed to reopen until April 6 at the earliest. Bicycle shops—an essential service in the “bicycle kingdom”—are not part of the closure plans.
Meanwhile, leisure cycling is facing restrictions in Spain and Italy.
