Miss eck is moving to London next week.
Living in Tooting Bec, commuting to that building with the big clock in Westminster (
don't ask)
She is looking to buy a "road bike". Can anyone recommend a LBS where she might not get fleeced, or any other legit sources of second-hand bikes? An option might be something from Decathlon - their Tribans seem to get decent reviews, but I'd prefer her to get something that could take mudguards. Budget I guess is £notalot, probably up to about £250.
She is not a novice to bike commuting: she has done a regular Edinburgh commute between Cameron Toll and Corstorphine since last summer, with a flat-bar hybrid, but is now looking for something a bit nippier.
Also, if anyone knows of any local cycling group that could give advice about routes etc, that would be welcome.
Thanks for listening.
