  • Whenever possible, I try to use brick and mortar shops rather than the internet to buy stuff. I'm a bit old fashioned, and think we will regret not supporting our shops, once they have all gone.

    I need some tub tape, so have been trawling round some local shops without success:

    Decathalon Surrey Docks - Not really a bike shop (but they used to stock it) - no joy
    Cycle UK Greenwich - Worst bike shop on earth - no joy
    Pedal-it Lee Green - Once the great Young's Cycles - no joy (although genuinely apologetic)
    Evans Canary Wharf - Clueless. Didn't know the difference between rim tape and tub tape.
    Bespoke Cycling Canary Wharf - Also seemed a bit clueless, which is a disgrace given the price of the bikes they are trying to flog.

    Anyway, I've spent the best part of a rainy day trawling the area without success.

    I blame Margaret Thatcher.
