Courier companies will not deliver any non-essential goods and any face-to-face exchange would breach the lockdown conditions. In short, deliveries or meetups must take place when the lockdown ends.<\/p>\n<p>We stand by the decision of President Ramaphosa and ask that all Bike Hub members comply with the lockdown conditions.
