Brixton and South London Guide for Cyclists – bike shops, repairs, accessories, bike hire, cycle clubs and more!

[editor]

This took about two days longer than I expected but it's finally up. Please add any shops I've missed out and point out any mistakes.

I'm not working on a guide to local cycling clubs, support groups and racing tracks, and would appreciate any tips.
So far I've got Lambeth Cyclists, Wheels For Wellbeing, Herne Hill Velodrome and Brixton Cycles Club but there must be more. Not sure whether I should include the Grosvenor Cycling Club, han ?

They're probably all just a bit too far out of the Brixton-centric catchment area (the guide started off as just around Brixton but is already bloody huge!) but I'll add this thread to the article so people can see your recommendations too. Thanks.

Interesting to see how many bike shops are over 40 years old...a couple over a hundred.

Get a Grip on Lavender Hill and The London Cycle Workshop on St John's Hill are two good independents who have helped me out with emergency repairs due to snapped chains and punctures - both are a bit closer to Brixton than Nunhead!

If I ever get a moment I'll add them but I literally spent days finishing this listing and can't face any more updates for a bit!
