Wiggle are being Nobs

It's a bike shop in a very dodgy part of London - don't they think their customers might appreciate being able to bring their expensive (or if they bought it in Mosquito very, very expensive) bike inside where they can keep an eye on it?

I know it's on Essex Road, but Islington is hardy "a very dodgy part of London".

....I think the web shops should really be our last resort. It's a shame that they're so easily able to undercut little local shops.

But why?

Len's post above got me thinking, and for the most part, other than immediate purchase (if it's a weekend) and being able to try clothes on, there don't seem to be many advantages. Is being able to walk into a shop and actually talk to someone is useful? Sometimes yes. But at least 50% of the time the people don't have a clue.

Mosquito are usually quite good (outside their refusal to allow bikes in). A bit up themselves but they can be helpful.

Mixed feelings about Mosquito. But then there's nothing new about bike snobs.
