Pedal power replaces Petrol power
I noticed, last night, that the site of a former petrol station in Chalk
Farm, North London, now has a shiney new bike shop on it. A sign of the times? -- Fig |

I know a few old petrol station sites that have been taken over by different companies. Some have dismatled the old forecourts, some have kept them for posterity. Wouldn't it be great if a bike shop took over one of these sites and had lucozade and red bull vending machines where the old petrol pumps used to stand?! |

Would be better if they had something of value to drink other than sugar water. ;-) -- Come to Dave & Boris - your cycle security experts. |

If the entire outlet has had to close down, a shrinking market for their product is certainly one possible explanation. -dan |
