Brixton Cycles

I didnt mind making my contribution to Brixton Cycles to help them keep going and get new premises, good luck to them.

But their organisation to get the t shirts out to subscribers has left a lot to be desired.

Is anyone else still waiting?

I never got my cap. But I have half a memory of ticking a box saying I'd go in to the shop to get it, so that may be the reason.

I've got mine!! It came through the post yesterday.

I wasn't really bothered because I knew they had a huge amount to do with the move. These guys are the good guys.

Im with you on that Rocky. Im glad my bit helped. I think most of the problem was that they were not prepared for it to take off like it did. Im sure it will turn up eventually.

A few years back, I cycled Northumberland-London, and popped into Brixton Cycles to buy myself a celebratory jersey. They were out of my size, but when I told them where I'd cycled from, they gave me a free cycling cap, which I still wear with pride (and I eventually got a jersey too). I donated a tenner for their move etc too.

My chosen reward of a cap never arrived.

I got an email along the lines of 'fill in this survey or you won't get your reward', which I took to mean 'we haven't a clue who is entitled to what'.

Couldn't be bothered with the survey, so I've forfeited my right to a cap.

They've been busy and the new shop's looking good. l could ask what's happening with the caps etc when I'm next in maybe??
Another great bit of service from them the other day... I loaned a mate's bike as I've been temporarily bikeless but the rear hub imploded after day two whilst I was travelling between work appointments. I carried the bike into the shop towards the end of the day bemoaning the fact I'd have to bus it home. Jim insisted on taking the hub to bits, spent a good hour fishing through the parts bin and when the problem couldn't ultimately be resolved that night, insisted on giving me a wheel which I kept for three weeks. No charge. Great shop. (I returned the wheel along with some posh cider last week.)

They must have been listening as my t shirt arrived in Denmark today :0)

My cap just arrived...very nice it is too. Not bothered by the wait, it was a good cause. Must pop in and find my name on the wall some time....
