I live in Crystal Palace but work in ED.

Word has it that the local bike shop in Palace ? Blue Door Bicycles - is finding the going tough at the moment.

It?s a great shop; full of the usual goodies, friendly, helpful, incredibly reasonable - particularly for servicing and repairs - and also houses a standalone framebuilder (Talbot Frameworks) and wheelbuilder (Talbot Wheelworks) on the premises.

It would be shame to see such a wonderful shop disappear...I?m mentioning it on this forum because Crystal Palace is the start and finish point for many cycling routes and I see plenty of riders setting off from ED each Saturday morning. If any of you could swing by, even just to grab a gel or spare inner tube it would make a difference...as the saying goes: every little helps.

Thanks and happy cycling!

    • There was good item on Radio 4’s consumer affairs programme You &Yours on 1st December. It was about these CIC fund raising scams and refers to this We R Blighty mob in particular (they have been successfully prosecuted twice and fined for their activities in the City of London). Also mentioned the “knife crime charity” lot who also show up in ED. The advice was to give them nothing and that they are breaking the law. It’s on the BBC Sounds app or via this link  (the item starts at 41m51s in): https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n065      I think you know perfectly well that is not what the poster is saying. There are a lot of CICs (there are now 37,000 of them) that have been set up specifically to mislead the public into handing over money. This We R Blighty is one such. These are the details of one of the cases against them in the City last month: https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-told-to-pay-out-thousands-over-illegal-collections/
    • Are you saying all CICs are dodgy? I think that’s totally unfair.
    • Similar deal to those Hive City guys who also camp outside of M&S, also a dodgy CIC rather than a charity 
    • please report this to the police - were there any witnesses? She should face charges. the owner should not allow dogs off lead - I'm so sorry this has happened.  It would be good if you can identify her - are there cameras - in the cafes around? - follow her, find her address and report her. https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/ac/animal-crime/ also report to the park wardens so they can be found Your Local Council: Contact them to report issues in parks or public areas, especially if you know the dog or owner, as they investigate under local bylaws and the Dangerous Dogs Act. https://www.gov.uk/control-dog-public/report-a-dog
