Meet The Makers of Berwick Street: Rob Warner and Nick Hawker of Soho Bikes - Video

 Notice they have now slyly edited the text so it says World Cup Winner.

PB in need of a proofreader?

London is awesome

this is 1km from my house in NW1, miles of singletracks in 1500 acres of woodland

ep1.pinkbike.org/p6pb12243132/p5pb12243132.jpg

I've got easy access to train stations for trips to Swinley, PORC, Aston Hills, Surrey Hills

I've got easy access to Gatwick and Heathrow for flights for overseas trips

20 skateparks within 25 minutes ride of my house

I can ride 20 minutes from my front door on my road bike and be in Surrey countryside

what's not to like

 Mainly the cost of living.

 Its a shit hole! Having grown up in west london and"enjoyed" the benefits you speak of it still sucks!

Some photos I took for you an hour ago when I finished working, never able to capture on camera just how far the eye can see.

Your more than welcome to Swinley and the Surrey Hills (having never ridden Aston or PORC I can't comment, in fact I thought PORC had shut down but a quick google search suggests not). I am in the area visiting family often enough to know both well and even worked in Windsor for the Crown Estate who own and operate the land and trails at Swinley. Have ridden it also 2 or 3 times since it was redeveloped by CE, instead of the rider built stuff it used to be, and still can't believe how many top-of-the-range 6" trail bikes there are riding around on tracks that are easily managed on a fully rigid.

I live near enough equidistant and spitting distance from 6 of the 7 Stanes if your talking trail centres and can get to parts of both south-west and south-east Scotland, Lake District, Northumberland, north and western Yorkshire Dales in little more time than it takes you to get from door to trail centre aboard the crowded commuter trains. And if I need to get to Gatwick or Heathrow it's a 3.5 hour relaxing train journey which is hardly worth worrying about if your spending half a day in the airport.

Then London... every time I go I come back with a depleted bank balance and sickened by all the pretentiousness.

 When you are young and up for partying London is amazing, every type of music club you can imagine, amazing food, people, cultures, music, food from every corner of the planet, theatre, cinemas, art, markets, public transport costs a few quid to get from one end of the city to the other at any time of day or night, cycling through London is not far off a Megavalanche start line ;-) .The mtbing sucks though, you need a car, I lived in west London, could be in s Wales in 2 hours if I was frivolous with the petrol, or swinley/ Surrey hills in 40 mins.
Its Britain's most cycling mad city by far, bike shops everywhere, over a million cycle journeys every day.
It does lack decent mtb shops, there's Soho bikes and Moose cycles and that's about it, so good on rob and nick !

 It's hard to get a good Flat White in London. There's an Aussie guy in Fulham who does a beaut.
