This was on TV yesterday. I am struggling to see how they will make money to be honest.

I saw a mobile bike repair van the other day, sounds like a tough line of work to be in. But, given our 'local' LBS is pretty much a high end boutique/0% store, you never know. Might have been this one; http://www.cycletechuk.com/2014/05/mobile-bicycle-repairs-leighton-buzzard.html

I've seen lots around in London. A lot link up with employers to offer a service while you're at work for the day and work in the Car Park. Council Dr Bike sessions are another source of work.

Separating the purchasing of parts and paying for labour seems to be the future. Loads of people on posh road bikes. I think they'll have the cash to pay for work to be done. They'll also be time poor and nervous of damaging the bike

When my cousin upgraded to his BMC to Dura Ace he found the bits as cheap as possible on line and then paid a mobile mechanic to fit them.

There's a bike cleaning service just started in Malvern. Something like £40 for a clean, lube and gear tune
