  It's all an easy math equation when considering a new bike purchase:

  N+1 = Nx - 2

  For every new bike purchase, you sell two bikes. Fraction-based acquisition algorithms running in the background increase Nx by an integer of 1 at regular intervals so Nx + 1 = L where L is constant

  This keeps my stock in check.

  Nah, it's that they don't open bikes spaces until 5/6 weeks before the date of travel, so it's only saying no spaces as they aren't bookable yet. But my vote is Sheffield start, more dependable trains and ever so slightly easier to get to

  What about an Easier Day in Late May? East Kent fixie loop, maybe with a BBQ at my gaff afterwards or a pub within very easy reach of Whitstable or Faversham? I like 8th of May but probably no trains out or back. Weekend of the 27th might work (and it's inbetween our 400 and 600 @ElGonzo )
