  1. OK on John's Hearns' prompting.

    Malmesbury (South Glos): Amanda's Cafe at 4 Oxford St --
    let you keep bike round the back through side door.
    Excellent cakes, especially the carrot cake. Will fill
    bidons (ask nicely).

  2. In Castle Acre in King's Lynn, there's various Ye Olde Tea
    Shoppes down the tiny main street that are cycle friendly.
    All doing homemade cakes & the like.

    Cheers, helen s

  3. This is quite a list: don't all jump in at once!

  4. Don't all post at once. Easy on there!

    Well, draw the obvious conclusion: no-one knows of any,
    probably because such things don't exist.

    It ain't so. The proprietor of the Cafe Artista in
    Marchmont, Edinburgh, happily plies sweaty cyclists from
    Edinburgh Road Club with refreshments after club runs or so
    I am told. I usually bunk off on the way through Musselburgh
    if I haven't already been dropped.

    It depends what you mean by "cycle friendly". If you mean places that make a special effort to welcome cyclists then I don't know of any.

    I find that most country cafes welcome cyclists, especially on a Sunday morning when if it weren't for cyclists there would be no trade.

    Or just look for a CTC Cyclists Welcome sticker in the
    window. The Price of Wales in Shrivenham (near Swindon) is
    one example - if you're on a typically slow CTC run, a pint
    doesn't hurt :-)

    And should you all of, it'll hurt less!

    Our off-road group keeps careful records of accidents (at
    the end of the year we give prizes to the best ones). We
    usually have lunch at a pub; there's not much alternative
    round here anyway. The records show that we seldom have an
    accident after lunch, suggesting that it's risky to ride
    *without* a couple of pints inside you.
