The Cycle Hub

Located out the back of Temple Meads — the side entrance, I guess, that leads to the Knights Templar pub, if you know where that is — there is this van that turns up each morning offering repair services to the unfortunate souls that try to cycle to the station and drag a bike on a train, much to the annoyance of all concerned (why do they do it???). Anyway, I met my friend here once after work, only for her to find that someone had slashed her bike tire. She seemed about ready to launch into a crying fit of magnanimous proportions (something I’ve never been able to handle), so I had to quickly tell her all about this place, which repairs bikes and sells a range of bike-​related goodies from a van. It saved my bacon once, and it could do the same for you.
