i see you didn't read the article. heres a highlight:

What more could be done for cyclists in London?

I’d bring in pit stops – places to refill tyres, repair punctures and fix bike chains etc.

yeah. thanks Kyle.

papa44, pit stops are a very good idea to teach beginner cyclists a bit about basic bike maintenance. Many ride around with dirty chains and low tyre pressure and this often leads to them abandoning cycling again when the bike fails. It's a very useful step down from a full Dr Bike, which can take a while. We (Hackney Cyclists and LB Hackney) have done these around Hackney for a while and they've been very successful. Don't knock it till you try it.

Thanks - I did read it.

I don't think there's anything wrong with this idea - though it's not terribly practical.

Have you never seen the Dr Bike sessions? Always rammed with people and that seems to be pretty much the same thing. With a cup of tea.

...and what Oliver said.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
