Bon Vélo Llp: New bike shop in Herne Hill?

catfood is in Herne Hill? Awesome, we have a new local friend... :]

Another LBS won't go amiss... I look forward to it...

Indeedy, looking forward to meeting you Whiskas.

Anthony Worral Thompson has also bought the old Brixton Cycles shop on Coldharbour Lane. What is the world coming to? Orks in Brixton...

Oh and the Popes Road car park is being knocked down and replaced with the temporary Streatham Ice Rink

Fuck sticks! Say it's not true snowy one?! What the flip is going to do with it? I used to love going in there and spending what was left of my grant back in the day (1726).

Will you two be spotted in the pedestrianised strip, outside Sesame complaining loudly about 'the black people' drinking outside destiny's?

I <3 HHF, moral outrage and middle class hysteria at its best

This is opening tomorrow, 10am till 5pm. I will definitely be popping in. Anynone fancy hooking up?

shall be popping in around noon as its around the corner - might treat myself to a MW bag.

Yep - I'll pop down. They're already doing good work sponsoring the first round of the Rollapaluza Winter League - www.rollapaluza.com/league

I'll be away racing (badly) in Nottingham so can't make tomorrow, but really interested to hear what kind of stock they've got in there, could potentially be really handy since its so close to home for me.

mashton, gonna be in the area for muddy hell, and then got to meet up with pinkgotti for the footie at the half moon, you want to meet up for say 4pm, for coffee, and a gander at the shop?

That could work Corny, gimme a bell when you get down that way.

will do

Anynone fancy hooking up?

With you, sure, nothing bike related, but lets 'hook up' ;-)

Popped in on Saturday and had a lovely natter, glass of sparkling wine and a good gander around. Really lovely shop with a nice range of stuff. A good mix of hipster, kiddy, commuter, carbon etc. I picked up a solo gilet and booked the tourer in for a service.

All in all, a great local shop which I'm chuffed to have nearby.

Good luck John et al.

I had a chat with John at Muddy Hell, having scared them by pressing my face against the shop window earlier on in the evening. I'd completely forgotten that I was dressed in Halloween fancy dress and had blood dripping from my mouth. They took it quite well!

indeed! thanks for the nice new bag, john - you roll a mean canape btw.

Yeah, have to echo everyone else's sentiments... Great place to have on the doorstep, we're very, very spoilt down here with BC and now BV... Good to meet you John, best of luck...

Mal and I were talking about that shop and I was "hmm could be a new bike shop, nah it's probably a cafe, otherwise I'd have heard of it"

A cafe wouldn't be a bad idea in HH! could do with a few more. I'm talking ponsey coffee rather than greasy spoon in this instance.

true - it's all a bit 'caf' down there. My gf lives around the corner and I'd love somewhere to come yet real coffee that doesnt involve Dulwich Village.
