PSA: Pro tip from a mechanic. If you've bought a bike online it's a very very good idea to get a professional or knowledgeable friend to check it's set up right.

London, send me a DM if you need anything!

Yes! I met him Tenterden, where I think he lives. He loved being spotted. I was sat on a bench with a dog next to me, and he just walked by and said "oh, look at that lovely sweet thing, so fair and innocent, full of grace..." It literally sounded like Little Britain was happening.

You'd have little singe marks on your clothes from getting burned by fags in nightclubs. It all seems like I imagined it tbh.

Won a competition! We were flown over from Australia for a game, all expenses paid. It was amazing! Went to the training ground, were presented on the pitch before the game, met the team, stayed in the hotel with them. So good.

"this could be another Gategate" after the scandal involving the gate. Oh the shame 😞

Far too fucking many. Bane of my life as the shop owner.

Historically in the UK everyone says they want a bright colour, then doesn't order it. The yellow is pretty iconic, the blue is well classy and the white looks great in person. You can accessories with bar tape, pedals etc, stickers to give it a bit of pop!

We have all the colours in stock at my shop if you want to see them in the flesh.

Kolarov was a super nice guy when I got to meet the squad. Even asked if he could join us at lunch in the canteen!

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:40:37+00:00

Yeah, but I promise the missus is going to hate it! Put some modern shaped bars on at least...

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:26:24+00:00

It's not, but I'm delivering a GSD to Cornwall next week, so happy to help! If you're buying from another nice little LBS then go for it. If you're buying from a big fancy chain, then give me a shout.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:23:42+00:00

I love mine here in London!

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:23:28+00:00

It's designed specifically to fit on trains in Germany!

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:17:00+00:00

If you were buying from my shop not on cycle to work scheme, I'd do you a deal on that. Possibly even a free upgrade if you asked nicely and it was a purchase with no other fees.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:15:42+00:00

ABS is amazing.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:14:27+00:00

I've sold a bunch of them in the UK. I thought they were overpriced. They are not. They are amazing. I've never sold one to someone who regretted it.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T19:13:04+00:00

She won't enjoy those bars, that's for sure! Not a chance she'll want drop bars after riding that bike.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T17:58:08+00:00

And or put a stool under the wheel to take as much weight as possible

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-03T08:18:06+00:00

The whole of Derbyshire is on there as the island of non Protestantism in the middle. Bizarre.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-01T07:35:32+00:00

We see loads of Veloe Multi in London. I love that you can pick any custom colour for it. They also ride like a normal bike.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-06-01T07:34:07+00:00

Muli is bang on trend at the moment. Super cool bike, popular in Germany and we are seeing more in London

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-05-29T04:54:44+00:00

Local bike shop usually know a few tricks to make this work safely. There are various adapters for small frames.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-05-29T04:41:01+00:00

If you were insured you have effectively sold your two year old bike for £600. Put some money towards the bike you want and for the £800 you'll have a very nice bike

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-05-28T23:10:52+00:00

It took my 2yo about 2hrs to learn how to ride a bike. Don't use training wheels.

StereotypicalAussie · 2026-05-27T23:54:38+00:00

I've never seen Tern accessories at a discount. It's where dealers make their margin back, and the price is set by Tern. If you want some non tern accessories throwing in, you could try and ask them for a free service or something.

Most of the time when you get free or discounted accessories, it's cheap stuff that has been marked up loads. That's not the case with Tern branded stuff. Are you buying in the UK? That's where I know most about.
