They've nearly stolen my idea for a bike repair shop come cafe in my home town. It would sell quality beverages plus of course a wide range of cake. There would be a small workshop area in the back, with a limited range of bike spares for those requiring repairs done. There would be a good but not over intrusive sound system, playing songs by The Clash and others. The name of the cafe? "Rock the Crossbar"!

Unfortunately there are already existing cafes on just about every corner in the town centre area. However, the idea remains in my head....

Down here in Abergavenny we went through a spate of charity shops opening up on almost every corner. Now, they've all closed and have re-opened as cafes. Must be a sign that we're out of recession .... or is that people are naive enough to think that running a cafe is a doddle and that there is an almost limitless supply of mugs who'll pay through the nose for an overpriced coffee ?

Where I live more and more shops are closing then re-opening as cafes. I reckon about 70% of the shops are now cafes. The town of Machynlleth is swarming with them. Nothing else just cafes.

Rock The crossbar made me giggle

I heard one has opened near Guilford but I cant understand it myself . If I go out for a ride I need my food to settle first or I puke . Why would I stop for a meal and then puke it up a few miles down the road ? Self harm ?

just ask for a mug of hot water instead. I never get charged for it (and no I don't add my own coffee or tea to it) - I like hot water.

 

[SpareSprocket]

LOL ! Tried hot water but my problem is I like something in it. Unfortunately (for my waist line) it's normally suger + something else :-(

A group of us stopped for a break on a fast Manchester 100 run last year. I think I had a full English and probably a bit of cake and a coffee and maybe a can of Coke. I don't recall feeling any worse for it during the remainder of the ride

Should have posted it in Cyclechat Cafe surely?

Some people are made to eat others are not, I can never understand why when offered a biscuit at around 4pm they say "no thanks it will spoil their tea" ,,,,,, what is that all about , I could have half the packet and still enjoy my tea
