    Halfords' Lincoln Tritton store is to reopen - one of 53 of the firm's shops across the country to open its doors again - with bosses saying there's been a surge in bike sales.

    The reopened stores will allow in a limited number of shoppers under a model described as "retail lite".

    Halfords has been allowed to remain open throughout the pandemic and subsequent lockdown, classed as an "essential" business, but many of its stores have not been open for browsing.

    The decision comes a day after the government said most non-essential retailers could reopen from 15 June.

    Halfords said: "There's no timetable or deadline for doing so and the pace will instead be dictated entirely by the company's confidence it can keep its colleagues and customers safe."

    The firm's chief executive, Graham Stapleton, said: "There's been a big surge in demand for our bike products and services as people have taken to cycling during the lockdown.

    "We're anticipating a similar demand for our motoring products and services in the coming days, as people begin to use vehicles again that in some cases will have been off the road for many weeks."
