Bike shops in London?

**Chisanga** · 26th June 2007, 14:56

I am off to visit the Homeland in a couple of weeks. Knowing there is a crapload of ex-Londoners on this site I wondered if anybody can recommend a couple of must-see bike shops while I am there?

I saw the post for the Ace Cafe and will try to visit that.

I am in London initially for only 4 days but I will probably spend more time their after visiting relatives.

Thanks in advance

Which bit of London and are you going to have a bike to get around on? As far as biking meccas are concerned, if you can get there, go to Box Hill (just outside the M25 on the south side)

Unfortunately I won't have abike when i'm there. I'm staying with a friend near Clapham and another in Kilburn.

I'll just have the tube etc. to get around on
