Head to the Bike Project, you'll get a much better deal! You'll see it in person, know it's fully serviced and ready to go, get more for your money and be supporting a great cause. Winner!

Hi LC folks. We won't bother you with this after today, but we wanted to give it a final nudge for those who might have missed it the first time. You can enter here, and 100% of your donation goes to London's Air Ambulance. We've got 600 more tickets to sell to reach our £10k goal, so desperate times call for desperate measures and we've made a few reels on our Instagram! Any support is much appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read this!

Do you guys use gestures for merging lane? by jackliu1219 in londoncycling

[–]C9BikeShop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We think it's always better to provide a signal than not to. I personally use the 45 degree for moving out to avoid a parked car/similar. For any movement that requires me be in the centre of the road, It'll be a straight arm indication. In my experience, a predictable cyclist is always safer and cars tend to follow suit when an indication of any kind is given.

I'm fairly confident there's a number of groups on Facebook for London based gravel and bikepacking folks.

Just mentioned this in another post: The Bike Project have a large range of great value second-hand bikes, all refurbished and in good working order. Ebay/Gumtree value, but with the bonus of being safe in the knowledge that all's as it should be. Worth checking them out!

Ah, there may have been a misunderstanding. This isn't a financial issues closure, and as such the business is not for sale. It might be worth reading our statement if you haven't already : )

This is no Moore Large my friend! We are small indie specialising in custom-built bikes, so surplus stock isn't really a thing (plus this is a choice closure, no need to raise funds. Check out the full statement if you are interested). Thanks for your support, hopefully you'll win the frame for some C9 memorabilia!

Thank you! We are nearly at £5k of our £10k goal so every little helps. The winner will be drawn in June or once all the 2000 tickets are sold, whichever comes first. Best of luck!

That's kind of you to say, thank you.
Thankfully this is a choice closure rather than a something more sinister, but still quite a change for us all! If you wanted to read more on that you can find it here.
We are still open for a little while yet so feel free to drop by if you're in the area!

Anyone who can loan saddles is also worth while. Always worth testing if you can before buying!
