No bike sales at the DIY store?

On Monday, April 27, the first easing of the lockdown will come into force, including the reopening of DIY stores. As these DIY and hobby stores often also have bike departments, they could have started selling bikes on site two weeks before specialist retailers. This is now not the case, and the 2RadSchweiz association has successfully intervened. However, there is an update on this situation, the product range restriction does not apply.

The opening date for the sales areas of Swiss specialist bike retailers is still May 11. DIY stores will be able to reopen from April 27, and these almost always have a bicycle department. The 2RadSchweiz association has intervened with the Federal Council and Seco to prevent vehicles from being sold in DIY stores from April 27 - and successfully so: according to 2RadSchweiz, only construction and gardening products may be sold in DIY stores.

The situation on the ground on April 27 looks like this:
