Bob Kiernan tunes up a bicycle in the back of his shop, Manchester Cycle, which he has owned for fifty years. Because of the stay-at-home measures mandated by the state to stop the spread of COVID-19, Kiernan has seen a huge spike in business for new and used bikes and increased demand for repairs as people look for ways to exercise and get out of the house. Currently he has only 40 bikes available for sale while under normal conditions he would have about 250 to choose from due to the difficulty in replacing stock. Cloe Poisson / CTMirror.org
