converted from a community interest company
into a charitable incorporated organisation under the terms of the Charitable Incorporated Organisations (Conversion) Regulations. In the process of conversion, the organisation has changed its name to Cycling Club Hackney CIO. Meanwhile, the community amateur sports club called Cycling Club Hackney has been wound up and has gifted its assets to CC Hackney CiO

Another highly productive session at Fawcett


One of our youngest members (little sister of...) was even most pleased with the handle bar streamers, they were fitted at the end of her bike tune up. 






Today was the day that Fawcett regular and general all round good guy Henry Boateng finally got his run around BMX sorted. It only took two months. That rare seat post was a real problem - but at last the part was found; phew!


Abrahim and the gift bike that has kept on giving since 1983. This eighties mountain bike has something about it (rust) Tonight we took several steps to restoring the Pegasus into better shape; an urban horse with history. We upgraded the front wheel from steel to alloy, made a much needed headset adjustment, fitted front and rear reflectors, tuned up the brakes, and had a go at adjusting the bottom bracket. Sadly this last job was not possible during the session due to it being rusted in. We doused the adjustable bearing cup with WD40 penetrating fluid with the hope that it will be free next week.

Not too much oil on chain and see you next week.

It's always nice to see old-time members.

Remel - former Fawcett regular - dropped by to, check his bike and say hello.
Conversation moved from materials for bicycle manufacture, via bamboo, to the reproductive travails of captive pandas; illuminating ideas for dark winter evenings.
