Yesterday saw a flying trip to a fabulous bike shop called Keep Pedalling, in Manchester's Northern Quarter. If you ever find yourself in Manchester then this area is well worth a visit. Independent coffee houses mix with book shops, record stores and hip boutiques. For us it was a quick trip to pick up the only Mock Croc Sawako Furuno helmet to be had north of the M25...shocking really. This fairly small shop has a great collection of bicycles; I was particularly taken with something called a Surly Moonlander. They had an extensive Brooks leather display, not just saddles! Lots of accessories; I picked up two Basil seat covers, which have taped seams, essential for protecting your leather B67! I chose a red/white polkadot and lil' miss had a fetching pink/white design. No more wet botty syndrome. Great couple run Keep Pedalling and they certainly know their stuff. Visit, I know we will again.
