Hey everyone,
It’s not easy to say this, but after years of keeping Brixton rolling, we’re closing our doors. Brixton Cycles wasn’t just a place to fix bikes—it was a labour of love, a community hangout, and a haven for anyone who believed in two wheels over four.
We gave it everything. For years, we have been at the coalface, all the while trying to keep cycling accessible in a city that doesn’t always make it easy. But the truth is, between rising costs, a brutal economic climate, and a million other small battles, we just couldn’t make it work anymore. And while we never wanted to let anyone down, sometimes love and hustle just aren’t enough.
Huge love to all the co op members past and more recent, customers, and friends who made the place what it was. You brought the vibes, the chaos, and the heart that made it special. The late-night repairs to disco music & beers, the chats over chain oil, the solidarity when times were tough—that stuff doesn’t disappear just because the shop does.
So yeah, this sucks. But keep riding, keep fixing and keep looking out for each other.
