Vandome Cycling

I saw an ad in B&D Council's The News for Vandome Cycling, only to find from the website that it is owned by B&D LCC member Russell Coe, of  Dagenham. Vandome is offering repairs and maintenance (including contracts), and maintenance classes, National Standards Training, led rides, bikes and spares for sale and fitness development.

We wish him all the best with that, I'm sure.

You can fix it

From CTC's newsletter:

"With the end of summer fast approaching, bike maintenance becomes more of an issue. But If fiddling and fettling with oily parts is not your favourite way of spending the dark evenings, you will be surprised to hear that a new report cites mending a bicycle as one of the main ways of improving mental wellbeing. For more information, see http://www.foresight.gov.uk/OurWork/ActiveProjects/Mental%20Capital/Welcome.asp. We want your best roadside and trailside bike repair tips for an article in the next issue of Cycle. Send your suggestions to technical@ctc.org.uk. Remember: the emphasis is on things that go wrong – and can be fixed – when you’re out riding, not home workshop stuff
