Popped into Decathlon.
They are again selling the bike bags, reduced from 48 pounds to 30.
Topeak Alien multitools for 20 pounds.

They also had what look like a range of cheap 'city bikes'
which might suit some people.
One bike for 150 quid with a step-through frame, a funny bag which
goes over the handlebars, size of a big briefcase. Mudguards and

lights.

Last time I checked (The site, haven't been to a store) the range of
bikes wasn't as good, not sure if this reflects on the ranges across the
board. Will be trying to make it to one soon.

Didn't know about the Romdford one and have been flogging all the way down
to Surrey Quays when I need new shorts. Bah!

There is a big one in Docklands, prices seem fairly cheap for their
own brand stuff and tyres but not components. I notice their bottom
end road bike is £259 here but e299 in France so they are not as
cheap, but occasionally worth filling up a basket (e.g Michelin tyres
at 6.99)

The image of 'Legs Larrington' pedalling along with breeks barely
covering his modesty is one we did not need.
