Oh, and ...
We now appear to have more than 30 bike shops/businesses in Hackney, if one counts bespoke bike builders which you can visit by appointment, Look Mum Mare Street (which doesn't have a workshop and only sells accessories, so isn't strictly a bike shop) and social enterprises such as the London Bike Kitchen.
The economic basis of cycling is a crucial indicator of the growth of cycling and also a key ingredient in further growth. It makes me really happy that so many bike shops are opening.
The current list, which we believe to be correct, is here, although it's entirely possible that something may have closed somewhere:
