I think the cycle to work bubble has burst taking a lot of the traditional market with it. 

City ebikes are now the markets that are doing best. A case of adapt or die. Unfortunately not many businesses have done this.

This will be true of restaurants and pubs in this crisis too.  Takeaways and deliveries are the market to get into - quick.  In the case of village pubs possibly not just the usual stuff but a "village shop" type role.

I'm not sure a lot of hospitality stuff is going to get the time to adapt before it's killed off.

No, but it's the more agile ones (sorry to use business speak) that will survive.
