Bath Julian House has now closed.

@All uphill, can you update the Google maps link as it doesn’t work anymore.

 

[Punkawallah]

Thanks for the hard work!

It'd be grand if you can find an address so we can pop them on the map.

I now use Bicycle Links in Norwich, a co-operative not for profit lbs.
Not much they can't deal with - !

They're already on the map. Good to hear that they do a good job.

I'm on it, have messaged the chap, no reply yet though...

I rode past the 'Umbrella Fair' bike charity premises on Racecourse, Northampton, today, not being sure if it was still around..

It is!

 

[rogerzilla]

Is anyone involved in Shropshire Cycle Hub? I filled out their volunteer application form a couple of months ago and haven't heard a thing. Maybe they just don't need help.

 

[annedonnelly]

It's a shame when you offer to help somewhere and you never get a response - or it takes ages to get a response. I've had similar experiences

Pedallers Arms, Leeds.

https://pedallers-arms.org/

It's a workshop where you can take you bike and work on it yourself. Or in my case, actually build it completely from the frame up. They've got all the tools, including the ones you might only use once, headset press and suchlike. Lots of stands. There are volunteers around to give tips, such as "er, the drive side cup on a bottom bracket is a left hand thread". Nice people, "donate as you can" type thing.

Closely related to The Bike Mill, which used to be upstairs, but has now moved, so the text of the address is correct (Meanwood Road), but the location on the map is wrong - I don't think I can edit the map here, can somebody else please?

To be clear:
Pedallers Arms is on Mabgate:
Pedallers’ Arms
37 Mabgate Green
Leeds
LS9 7DS

Leeds Bike Mill is on Meanwood Road:
