    Brixton Cycles, one of London’s most beloved independent bike shops, has announced that it will be shutting down as a result of “rising costs, a brutal economic climate, and a million other small battles”.

    Cyclists had been concerned about the store’s operational capacity in
    recent months, many wondering if it was to close soon. Now, the
    worker-owned cooperative, known for its deep-rooted commitment to the
    cycling community, has confirmed the news in a statement on social media.
