Drove past this morning (Saturday 20/02/21) and saw 20-30 cyclists, none of whom were wearing masks, nor were they in groups of 2 (as per the current exercise laws) or social distancing at all.

Staff are friendly and the space itself is well designed with some cycling memorabilia on display as well as a selection of kit on sale.
Giro is loved by cyclists and non-cyclists alike and deserves its...
