Island Gardens Pit Stop Cycles
If you travel via Island Gardens you may have noticed a "pop up" cycle repair facility by the foot tunnel entrance. Glen (ex Bikeworks) started Pit Stop Cycles as an informal service to local cyclists and now wants to apply for a licence to formalise it. When I chatted to him he told me about the many people he has helped, and not just bicycles - he has assisted a motorised wheelchair and a few baby buggies too! The aim is to run the service as a social enterprise. He is located on a popular cycling route and often seems to be busy.
If you think this sort of facility is useful, and would like to support his application then there is a petition which you can sign in person at the kiosk or cafe in the park. He would also welcome any messages to pitstopcycles@live.co.uk and if you could copy those to councillor Gloria Thienel at cllrgrthienel@aol.com that would be helpful.
