yeah ive heard about it
thats it though
-
someone's got the ride idea anyway, so many bikes use that route into hackney/london they have to be pretty stupid to fuck it up
-
They would have to open early and stay open late. Most people only cycle through that route.
When I lived just off London Fields I rarely ever used anything on Broadway Mkt. other than the Dove and the actual market on Sat... -
Still, they'd make a killing on Saturday!
-
Funny how things change. I cycled that route for years and remember the original bike shop which was there up until a few years ago. They didn't get enough trade. The wheel is still attached to the wall where it was. Gallery now at the Fields end. Now there'll be lots of business. Do the guys still give out free teas and brekkie to cyclists in London Fields? I was always on my BMX and felt I didn't fit with all the friendly commuters that were stopping. I'd be all over it now though!

bigben More the merrier though, we have London Fields who are fab, and bicycle magic who are OK further south. Anyone used and/or know anything about the tiny bike shop on Hackney Rd just along from Kirby Glass?
the dodgy looking bmx one? charged my girls roomate like 15quid to fix a punture, and dropped her bike doing it.

photoben Having just moved to Clapton/Hackney, can someone give me the details of these shops please? Also in anyone know the area any good riding spots?
I live RIGHT next to the homerton humps apparently, might check it out tomorrow on my bike.
london fields cycles, top of mare street, next to hsbC. big shop, friendly staff, good wheel building skills.

rakan: I was coming out of the pub (dove) on trixie party night and a lady was taking a picture of me and my mates bikes, then she said i just took a picture of your beautiful bikes do you mind? i started chatting with her and from what i can remember is going to be dutch bikes mostly and coffee, i wished her luck slipped her a trixie flyer and went to play pisumo.
-
so is it the same chain as this new bike shop that's opening on upper street? so far it's just a a display of dutch bikes and i've forgotten the name. it's right on islington green, where the record shop used to be.
-
no not really.
-
Yeah me and Muna ended up going in the other day. she is going to be selling bike's priced from £1000 - 1500 all hand made by a dutch guy. Gonna be a couple single speed bike's but i think mainly road bikes. She said that her shop was going to be the only place that sold his stuff. Its a small shop so going to have a few tables at the end so you can have coffee. Opening day is on the 6th of march if it all goes to plan and she said every one is welcome.
-
ibob superprecise: that's Bobbin Bicycles - do they count as a chain if that's their second shop...?
Is it actually a shop? When i passed by it was a " bike gallery"
