Cycle Shops

Does the googlemap work for everybody else? Am i just being mental?

Hm, odd, doesn't seem to work for me any more--I remember it working, though. Have you had a look at it recently, mattty?

Can anybody recommend a decent bike workshop in Clapton/Stoke Newington?
Do you mean a shop specifically because of the quality of their repairs, or a workshop where you'd want to do some work yourself?

Two Wheels Good in Church Street get good reviews. I haven't been there for a long time, though, and I've never used them for repairs. There's Bike Mech at The Castle (repairs only), which likewise has a lot of fans. A&F Cycles, the only bike shop in Clapton, also gets good feedback. For repairs, I go to Bike Yard East myself.

We also have the Hackney Self-help Workshop if you want to learn how to fix your bike yourself:

Not far from Clapton in Frampton Park.
