London doesn't need another bike shop!

I go into a store and 80% of the time there's someone who has just had a puncture.
Then I hear the shop say "leave the bike and get it back in 24 hrs or whatever, and it'll cost £XXX."
I see their little face crushed, and the furrow as they determine how to get home/work and then back to the shop.

Each time I think of saying "buy a tube, step aside and give me 5 mins". Then I think, "I'm late, can't stop and help."

1. Mega-express puncture service - if you have the capacity. I'm sure those who wouldn't know how to, would pay a premium price. Ignorance is bliss...

This seems like it ought to be a standard procedure for any indie shop - 'my' go to shop as it's on my commute is East Central Cycles on Exmouth Market and they are like an F1 pit stop for punctures. I've never seen turnaround like it. It is my mission to change a tube as quickly.

Good luck with yr shop!
