Hang on Sue !. I thought you were planning on getting a Bicycle... and now there is Cycle hanger at the end of our road...

You have no excuse...

.. Bicycles and Ale are never a good combination... though it seems to be a good idea until you have to push the thing home. :)

Which suggests that it's probably a good shop name (even if it is grim). You (who I suspect has no interest in yoga and sports wear) noticed it and remembered it. That's a catchy name.

oh, but there is science involved...it's not just pretty colours and exclusive price tags. It's about ergonomically designed clothes and all sorts of other factors..

Did you know - for example "In sport, compression clothing has been designed to improve recovery following exercise and training. A similar concept applies to the tight-fitting shirts worn by a number of the teams in the finals of the 2007 World Cup for Rugby Union, with claims of increasing energy levels through transfer of ions to the body".

I quite like watching the rugby, hadn't though there was a reason for their tight tops....

A quick google of "compression leggings" suggests you can ick up a pair for as little as ?15.

I can imagine people who are properly in to their yoga splashing out on this stuff. Just as with any sport, if it becomes a real passion you'll go out and buy good gear. But most people that just enjoy a knock about will just wear their shorts and t-shirts.

I do have some 'Sports' vests which I bought from JB Sports in Surrey Quays..

They are designed to support muscles when lifting weights...

They were ?3.99 reduced from ?7.99...

Unfortunately they did not come supplied with any muscles...

I quite like the concept of www.fatladattheback.com (although it seems they specialise in cycling).

Personally, I like swimming, but wearing the right gear for sport can make you more inclined to actually use your gym membership....

I'll definitely have a look when it opens and maybe find some inspiration.

Maybe we could have a ED runners club (beginners-and-not-too-far for starters...

Dulwich Park already has a running club and I think they welcome all levels. Of course ED could start its own :)

Great addition to the high street. Area is really improving since I moved here 3 years ago!

Bring it on!
