I’m spannering for this charity in the North East https://watbike.co.uk/
We do used bike refurbs and sales, regular servicing, maintainance classes, ebike hire, guided rides and more. Also have a barn full of old/obscure parts and there’s a cafe on site.

Thank you all for my and Hannah’s honeymoon travel plan.

Can’t see the story but two local ones are https://communitygiftexchange.com/community-gift-exchange-shop/ in Ayr and https://killiecancycle.webs.com/ in Kilmarnock.

So many basements and attics to go at!

This is pretty amazing, and the exact opposite of my local bike store Sigma-Sport 😉

Not really a shop, but

@binman that’s exactly the kind of thing I was hoping people would link to when I suggested adding things – if I give stuff away i want it to help as many people as possible and social enterprise like that helps those (re)training as well as the eventual users of the gear

May I mention Watchtree Wheelers at Watchtree Nature Reserve near Carlisle https://watchtree.co.uk/. Adapted cycling for all, cycling training, cycle hire, refurbished bikes, workshop and cafe? Run for, and by the community as a registered charity.

I also commend https://www.rebikecumbria.co.uk/ for their excellent work.

There are two more in SW scotland which refurbish bikes and provide repairs:
Fin at Stranraer reuse https://www.facebook.com/communityreuseshop and Danny at Wheels of fleet https://www.facebook.com/wheelsoffleet

Both are in great locations for cycling but do not have a local bike shop so provide a vital community service for those who cannot get to CD or Newton Stewart

So it seems that in addition to being a brilliant bike mechanic, Dieter is an excellent writer. Happy Days is my LBS and I can confirm it’s great.

Anyone in The Scottish Borders with anything that you don’t need any more would get a warm welcome here.

You might even get to see my ugly mug.🙂
