Nadolig LLawen a Flwyddyn Newydd DDa!
(Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!)

I came across this unusual location for a bike shop, it operates from a traditional narrowboat called 'Brass Farthing'

Graham stocks Bromptons, accessories & upgrades
Also mentions Stridas & Dahons

That shop looks like it has tons of personality. I'd love to check it out in person.
