Tweeted @edinhelp for what good it will do. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=516#post-3870 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:23:22 +0000 SRD 3870@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did anyone else hear the World Service report about venture capital and online retailing (one of their business programmes) last week, which spent a lot of time promoting wiggle? Interesting stuff. I gather they are the biggest world-wide online cycle retailer (although the cynic in me suggests that this may be partly because the US outdoor goods is so fragmented). </p> <p>Actually this begs another question -- in the US and Canada two of the biggest/trendy retailers are both membership co-ops: REI (US) and Mountain Equip Coop (Canada). Why are there no equivalents here? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=516#post-3868 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:19:19 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 3868@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I always wonder what people think when a box with 'Wiggle' on it appears for me... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=516#post-3864 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 11:42:26 +0000 Stepdoh 3864@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hey, just be glad you've not got my odd crunky noise. Think it's the bottom bracket. Erk. Had an interesting encounter when someone in my office asked why I had something called 'Wet Lube' on my desk. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=516#post-3857 Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:32:35 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 3857@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>How could I forget to put a dod of oil on the drivetrain AGAIN??!? In traffic it's not noticeable, but along the Innocent I was praying I didn't catch anyone up. Managed that, only to find someone had caught me up just as we entered the tunnel, and stayed behind me all the way through - squeaks echoing off the walls.</p> <p>Lunchtime trip to Biketrax I think for some loooob. </p>
