Recommended Balfes Bikes

Recommended Posts

I just have to post a recommendation for the wonderful team at Balfes Bikes. My beloved bike that I had since 2005 and rode everywhere, was nicked a couple of weeks ago, and I first called the original place I bought my bike to see if i could buy another one. The guy who answered basically, laughed when I explained what had happened and said it was a joke thinking I could get a bike this year as everywhere was sold out. I then phoned Balfes who i've been to for servicing my old bike over the years, and got the best service I could have wished for. They were understanding,very patient with me (after trying a few bikes!)and I spoke to 3 different guys on my visits there, all were brilliant , and ordered in what I chose which came within the week. So a shout out to a great local asset!

I have taken my vintage 40-year old Di Blasi folding bike to Balfe's Bikes Dulwich on 2 occasions (punctured tyre and gear problems) and another bike that needed the the gear change wire replaced. On all occasions, the Balfe's guys were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable - and managed to fix the problems. Definitely recommend them!

    • If you want a small prickly evergreen for shade I would recommend Ruscus aculeatus. Unlike Pyracantha, which grows big and is unpleasant to prune, Ruscus only grows to a metre and it will grow in very dark dry shade where almost nothing else does. It is viciously spiny and has very good  red berries in winter.  Berberis darwinii and Berberis julianae are two good evergreen Berberis that will grow in partial shade. I usually order from Burncoose but I have always had a good service from Crocus.

    • Have you found your cat. The new cat in our garden looks very much like yours.  
    • I first subscribed to Tortoise two or three years ago, and also subscribe to the Guardian, and eg Byline and various others - I do feel it is important to support good media if you can. Tortoise have done some interesting stuff, tried to really reach out to readership and have been quite trailblazing on topical podcasts too. Having said that, I still can't quite see how it all fits with the Observer and I worry it will make both worse as they have different bases and dynamics in my view.
