Does anyone know what's going on with back to bikes? Walked down with my bike on Thursday late afternoon to find it closed and assumed it was early closing. Walked down again today with my bike and it was still closed, there was even a donation of bikes outside.

Combined with the closure of Aztec cycles on Foregate Street I'm in mourning for the loss of these bike repair specialists :(

I hope they haven't closed. Was going take a look see what was for sale next week.

Enjoying a drop of red.
It's the lack of inofrmation that does my head in. How hard can it be to stick a notice on the door :(
Was going to take all our bikes in for service later this week as I do every year but don't know whether to bother now. Very poor show not to keep people informed.

Anywhere else in town that's good with bikes (no, not Halfrauds).

I thought Aztec Cycles were simply moving to the back of the current premises ???

I dunno about that, but the roller shutter was down so i didn't search for a back or side entrance. If it's that difficult to see if the shop is even open or how to get in they're hardly encouraging trade.

Back to bikes is a strange set up.

Hundreds of donated bike and most of the are just scrapped off or left to rust away outside.

All the expensive stuff seems to be kept in the back for personal use for members of staff, surely this is where the money is. Maybe all the good stuff is sold for cash and kept. Who knows???

I have known them several times not to turn up and have strange goings on.

@Stafford_Drummer ..... are you the noisy shite who stands alongside the river by Sainsburys, banging away for all he's worth? I'd love shove your drum sticks somewhere mr!

Weird how no-one has a clue what the hell is going on. Someone must know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who might know the right person to explain :)
