i admit to being guilty here but not in the way sighted in the article my offence is in telling customers that if they walk away from their bicycle dressed like they will be risking arrest yes these are fully kitted roadies who are used to being fawned over. but it still is not the type of thing that we need to be doing. The Bicycle Kitchen was founded in part as a direct response to the types of attitudes sighted in the article and not the shop of my admission.
