I think in America they have this figured out. Places like Golden Saddle in LA and Cycleast in Austin have made their places social spaces with strong social media presence and regular rides and events, making it a destination for people visiting the city

Brick Lane Bikes would be the London equivalent. They've got 50,000 followers on Instagram, Golden Saddle have 30,000, Cycles PS 4,000. BLB will get the rich tourist pounds.

That's a good point, it's the shop any bike people outside the UK have heard of through it's online store. Shame it's terrible.
