Hello all! I'm currently on holiday in France, near Limoges and was wondering if anyone knows of any cycle related jumbles/rides/shops etc nearby?

Cheers in advance!

Can't help at all but last jumble in France I visited(in a tiny school hall in a small village) had complete road bikes for 20euros. Nothing special, just bog standard 70's Motobecanes etc. Was some serious bargains to be had. I picked up a Mafac cockpit for 3euros.

Sure there'll be something nearby, french google any help?

No cycle jumble info, but this weekend (6/7 June) is La Fête du Vélo (National Bicycle Day) in France.
There's the patrimoine limougeaud à vélo in Limoges.
1.5 hr 'heritage' ride, leaving at 17.30 on Saturday 6th, from Place de Bancs in the centre of Limoges.

Troc velo also lists (some) events, such as for this weekend. But it is far from exhaustive in what it has in it's calendar.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
