We have also had people alone and in groups sunbathing in the Royal Parks. This is not a reasonable excuse to be outside of your house and we urge you not to do it.#StayHomeSaveLives

I thought this as well but on checking my account this morning my authority have helped themselves to a payment? I’ll be on the blower this morning Wandsworth Council Wandsworth Council Business Team

Just to add to this it seems that Wandsworth Council haven’t yet caught up with the situation & I suspect they’ll be getting some calls from businesses wondering why they’re light on cash this morning! #balham #tooting #wandsworth

In fairness I spoke with someone this morning who was reasonably helpful, said this & suggested I cancel my DD. Said they’d refund IDC. TBA that there’s no direct option on the telephone system, I pressed 5 I think, (bailiffs or court) others just a message #balham #tooting

Thank you Pinkbike

This came into the Workshop today. 1 is unfortunate, but 2...Dirty B@#*ards! #balham #tooting

Happy New Pump Day! Always free to use whenever we’re open. Please don’t abuse it this time 🤷🏻‍♂️! #balham #tooting

Rocking up without a face covering isn’t a great look just now. Please remember to wear a face covering when you visit us. It could save a life. Ours. #balham #tooting

Butter or Margarine? #balham #tooting

We’d normally just replace a Free Hub body that had degraded so far, but given you can’t find one of these puppies for love nor money just now we’ve gone old school. We’ve cannibalised a similar & re-used what we could get away with. It’s grumpy, but runs - for now. #noparts

If we’re servicing your cycle & we find your derailleur is seized we don’t automatically replace your whole derailleur. Usually one of the pivots needs service & it’ll be good to go. Here we’ve gone at the b-pivot & swapped out some shot guide pulley wheels. Job Done! #balham

When we service your ride we don’t just stiff you for parts. Here the RD is seized. Plenty will just say replace it, but if we can we are going to break it down and make it good, enough. Here the pivot needed some love and now it’s back into some sort of shape. #balham #tooting

Anyone else getting ‘xyz.xyz account does not exist’? What’s going on, been a few days now...?

This is a crime. The guy’s trying to earn a living but he’s risking his life on this. I’ve pointed out the shortcomings & advised him to return it; it’s not of merchantable quality! I know budgets are key but this isn’t fair. If you see him, tip him! #dangermoney #balham #tooting

Calling all road cyclists. We are organising a Saturday morning (10am) social ride from the bar to Farthing Downs (25-30miles). Feel free to join. Everyone welcome The Bicycle Workshop Crazy Horse Bikes Stephen Kingdom Tooting Newsie

Many parts are still super difficult to source & will be for some time so we’re back into old school, make do & mend. It isn’t pretty but it runs & we’re not waiting until October for a new one. Stand by for some long lead times for parts going forward! #balham #tooting #noparts

Happy New Pump Day. The last one managed only 10 months. Please use it, but don’t abuse it.

Hello XLN . I’m waiting for more than an hour to speak to your customer service, to no avail. Your website promises of quickly helping customers ring hollow! Oddly though, you answer your sales line super quickly! 1 ring!! So far today I’m holding on for 73 minutes…
