This week we surprised two of our young people on work experience with the gift. They have both been working with our mechanic Adam since the summer but didn't know the last bike & trike they worked on were theirs to keep!
Merry Christmas - we hope these wheels bring you lots of happy miles!

Wheely Great Wednesday - supporting the next cycling superstar! 🌟
In July we were gifted a Raleigh Equipe track bike. These bikes are a bit special, designed for use on a velodrome with a fixed gear and no brakes, this bike needed a different sort of next life to most of our pre-loved bikes. 1/3

Paris not messing around with signs only for their school streets but going for full pedestrianisation. Much like the 1970s when the UK was still using ineffective signs to regulate play streets and the Dutch had moved onto removing through traffic and redesigning the street.
One of my fav Bluesky things is that it shows the thumbnail for a Youtube link unlike X which majority of time shows just a link.
That said, new here or been following me for 20 years here is perhaps the most important Streetfilm since Covid. Please give it a watch.

Just one week to go until our big move and our volunteers and mechanic Adam have been working really hard to prepare the Hub #5 at 16 North Walk. It's coming along nicely, don't you think?
Our last day in our current unit will be this Saturday (30th Nov) - tell all your friends!
