She’s been in lockdown with her family for weeks due to the COVID-19 crisis.
And on Tuesday, PR maven Roxy Jacenko was spotted waiting in line for almost two hours outside of the Sydney bicycle store, 99 Bikes, ahead of purchasing two scooters.
The 40-year-old was joined on the Bondi outing by her children Pixie, eight, and Hunter, five, with it coming amid reports that bike sales have jumped due to the coronavirus pandemic.

‘There’s been about a 50 per cent increase across our stores, but in our city stores it would be more, so around inner Sydney, inner Melbourne, inner Brisbane,’ Matt Turner told the AFR.
A salesman from the store also said that they’ve been incredibly busy, with families buying bikes seeing as they have time to get out and exercise together while in lockdown.
