London Bicycle Co-Ops / Used Bikes?
Hey all,
I'm about to move to London from Sydney and Im' looking for any bicycle co-ops or similar in the inner London area?
- Mostly as i'll be waiting 2-3 months for my bike to finally arrive via Sea Freight!
or alternatively any advice on Cycling in London. I commute in Sydney and was intending to do the same over there. I imagine i might need to get some fenders though.. haha

Sucks to be you..... because you will now have to get used to the insane criminal protection legislation and repressive firearm and pocketknife/leatherman laws.
Oh wait.........you are from Sidney......... Sorry dude

London Bicycle Co-Ops
I've always found Brixton Cycles Co-Op very helpful. They used to be in Coldharbour Lane, but I think that they may have moved - shouldn't be hard to find, tho'.

Repressive firearms legislation? Repressive how? The right to bear arms is a right only in countries that allow it. If you polled Briton, they would say no. Anyway, you can legally hold useful firearms like shotguns and rifles easily. Since when is banning pistols and ak's repressive?
You could try craigslist, gumtree and loot for second hand bikes. Some might be stolen. Ebay.co.uk is another outlet.

I think it may have been sarcasm?
and is beside the point anyway. I just want to know about Cycling in London!
- is it hard to do a driveby with an Uzi in drops?
