Cyclechic's little black book: Bikeworks, East London

Bikeworks is a social enterprise based in Victoria Park in East London. If your looking to buy a bike they have a tasty collection of second-hand/recycled bikes on offer like this rather beautiful Spacemaster pictured above - am just loving the white saddle and white handle bar grips

The team running bikeworks offer cycle training and maintenance training... and seem like jolly nice chaps to boot!

The Cycle Show 2008

The cycle show returns to Earls Court this week from 10th -12th October. While there will be plenty to keep the true cycling advocates entertained there is also a fair bit going on for us cycling commuters.

There will be a commuter test track to try a range of commuter bicycles. There will also be a kids test track with bicycles for kids and giving parents a chance to try out all the crazy looking contraptions to get your little ones from A to B.
