Good morning, and welcome back to The Leadout. It’s me with your weekly dose of analysis and opinion, although this week I am not coming to you live from Down Under, but merely Bristol. It’s a bit dark and cold, isn’t it. Remember, you can email me on [email protected] with thoughts, feelings, that kind of thing. This week, we’re steering away from pro cycling and towards the high street.
I’m very fortunate, where I live, to be within walking distance of at least five bike shops. These places are at the heart of the cycling industry, providing help, service and products to everyone from the beginner cyclist to the KOM hunter. If you need a new inner tube, a headset fixed or even a new bike, where else do you turn but your local shop?
