Bike should definitely come with you. Talacre may have gone but Cantelows has been revamped, Stockwell resurfaced and there's a small bowl in Finsbury Park.

hey,i went to talacre quite a few times-probably with trill when he went,one time i went with graham marfleet and he blunted the steel fence out of the bowl-ludicrous this was probably 89/90 the fence was about 5 foot high!
