Hello

Left it rather late I realise, but I need a foldable bike bag for the return part of my London to Paris ride....just bought a £1 laundry bag with a zip but it's slightly too small at 27".

If anyone in the East London/Hackney area has one I can pick up tonight, please let me know amd I'll come get it - we leave tomorrow!

Alternatively, if anyone can confirm if any of the pound shops in Hackney do one of the HUGE ones that'd be great too...

Cheers

Aye, Dalston/Hackney seems to be the way forward, the charms of leather lane have for the first time failed me!

blind_dan has suggested, if I can't find one, that I should gaffer tape another bag to the one I have and make it longer. Great advice methinks!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
