It's a shame your not about on Friday, it's the bike show at the Excel centre.

Mmmm, there's a small place that does vintage / classic mainly racing bikes on Balls Pond Road - been past there plenty of times, but never in. They sell things like caps and jerseys and stuff as well. It's on the #30 and #277 bus route so get-able from Highbury. Also on the #277 bus route is London Fields Cycles on Mare Street - probably a little out of your way I guess. And on Essex Road (#73 & #476 bus route and walking distance from the place on Balls Pond Road) just a few doors down from the library at Cross Street, there is another cycle shop - it's recently changed hands and been refurbished. Can't remember what it's called though. There is also another place on Chapel Street Market up at the Angel - it's served by all four of those bus routes. They have a stall on the market and a shop also on the market iirc.

My all-time favourite bike shop is Condor Cycles on Gray's Inn Road https://www.condorcycles.com/

I rarely go to London without finding an excuse to pop in.

Brompton Junction in Long Acre, Covent Garden, so you can marvel at just how far Brompton has gone in terms of marketing.

But there are a number of conspicuous shops missing from the list

There is not to much to drool over there.

It is, however, a bike shop cunningly disguised as a very nice cafe.

We will have to agree to disagree on that one.

What poseurs, Have only been there twice, the first time i could not get a seat as it was full of computer nurds, the second time i could not even get a decent pint, really over rated as a bike cafe.
