The coronavirus lockdown has led to a boom in bicycle sales that appears set to accelerate as the government encourages people to cycle to work after easing restrictions.

After the government spent the weekend talking up cycling as a way for workers to safely return to work, shares in Halfords jumped 17% on Monday.

Britain’s biggest cycle retailer said sales of some cycling equipment had risen 500% at the start of the lockdown, while bike sales this month have been double normal levels.

Many small independent cycle stores have sold their entire stock in recent weeks, and are waiting for new stock to be delivered.
