London bike shops closing

£50 wouldn’t really cover a fraction of the repairs.

If it mean they save £50 out of £250, then it make a big difference.

But isn’t it only for making un-roadworthy bike road worthy or some shit?

£50 for two bikes per households. Does that mean £100 overall or £50 between two of them?

Latter, we’re gonna have to be stringent to ensure it not gonna get abused.

I’d say no judging by some of the Shed finds I‘ve seen - even basic stuff like Replacing perished tyres and rusty cables are gonna send you over 100£ easily

Also launching it now when most workshops are booked up for weeks or months - would you rather take on a job Fixing up a cheap bike with a Long winded government Voucher to process or take the easier money....

I read £100 overall somewhere, not sure where.

Least surprising discovery of the day

I think Krisz has moved to Cornwall so no idea who was running it pre-COVID.

Former bespoke and HEX mechanic @Justin_Case was doing the workshop last time I was in there. All the best to Krisz in Cornwall, is he in a bike shop there?
