There's not many decent independently owned bicycle shops left in South London but this one is a…read moregem. This shop has been here for many years and I remember it as a child (which was, er hem, a long time ago). Anyway the staff are friendly and were able to fix my bike within the afternoon. Seem to be well stocked with accessories and bikes...the shop also had a good vibe, with customers passing through who seemed familiar to staff which is good to see. The shop is also located on the London to Brighton route in case you breakdown!!!

Where bike shopping is concerned I'll happily cobble together any old excuse to do so; oh my rims…read moreneed truing, maybe I need to replace them with some deep Vs, My fame is a 49cm when I could do with a 47cm new frame? I think so! it's a sickness. It therefore stands to reason that I am pathologically unable to even pass a bike shop without darting in and combing through every aisle like someone auditioning for Supermarket Sweep. I was 'up west' for a change. On the assumption that all West London residents drive Range Rovers I was pleasantly surprised by Cyclopolis, a small but perfectly formed 'half bike shop, half workshop' in Balham. So was it better than the inimitable 14 bike co, you might ask? Clearly not; but it's great for when you want a little splash of quality and style in amongst all the usual practical items. Like decent Kevlar tyres. A respectable range of Brooks saddles. More Abus products than you'd imagine in one place. Very well stocked indeed. they also do the bike to work scheme, if you are as scarred by Evans as I am. Oh, and there's stuff for your kids if you want to get them hooked too. It's more of a shop for people who ride Pashleys or off road, but they know what to do with fixed gear and single speed lovers too. No, and I don't mean slapping them.

Dulwich Park itself must be one of the best kept parks in London made even more enjoyable by racing along in a side by side tandem tricycle. Great for a family day out or exercise that is more enjoyable than the gym and with prices starting at just £7 an hour, you have no excuse to spend the day sitting at home.

Pedal Back Cafe in Broadway Market in Tooting is an interesting place. You can get your bike fixed…read moreor get your lunch fix. I am clearly an advocate of the lunch option - delicious cheese toasties and spot-on flat whites. Could it be any better?! Nestled inside the little labyrinth that is Broadway Market in Tooting, there is Pedal Back Cafe, a small bike workshop that also does decent coffee and lovely melts, as they call the toasts. I never went there to get a bike done, but I have been there over lunch. Unfortunately, Pedal Back Cafe is a bit too far away from where I work to go there more regularly, but every now and then, I hop on the tube and get off at Tooting Broadway station. It's just a short walk from the station, and without any doubt worth the effort. Service is down-to-earth and very friendly, and they do really good coffee. I am also a big fan of the cheese melt, made with proper, dark, savoury bread. If you have a sweet tooth, you will also find some tasty treats - my favourites are perhaps the macarons. Pedal Back Cafe is a hidden gem. Once you have discovered it, you will keep coming back. The only downside: you better be able to tolerate the market stall selling fish just a few meters away.

Fantastic service, warm and friendly staff and good at cracking jokes! They customised our brunch…read moreas a surprise without us having to ask - very special (and cosy!) spot to eat and drink great coffee. Will definitely be back, thanks Pedal Back!
