Polaris is partnering with six Peak District cafes to carry essential spares for cyclists. The nearest LBS or the car aren’t always in easy reach out there, but hopefully in such cases, one of these cafés will be. The spares list includes tubes for every popular wheel size; cables, split links, lube, and zip ties (no mention of mech hangers though). There is a small charge for the parts, payable in the cafés, but all profits go straight to the Peak District Mountain Rescue team.
The cafes with these boxes of emergency spares so far are:
Bank View Cafe – Langsett
Norfolk Arms – Ringinglow
Eyam Tea Rooms – Eyam
Penny Pot Cafe – Edale
Palmers Cafe – Calver
Longshaw Cafe – Longshaw Estate

Terrific idea, big thumbs up!
We had this discussion recently regarding YHA’s, brake pads in Torridon YH would make a fortune.
Great idea – love the Penny Pot Cafe in Edale for a post walk/ride cake and tea!
If it was halfway round my route, getting to a LBS would take ages…
