We collect within the hour.

Book before three and it goes the same day. Inside the ring road that usually means a rider with you in about forty minutes.

03

The riders own it.

Chainline is a co-operative. Any rider still here after six months can buy in, and the surplus is split between them at the end of the year.

04

A bike fits where a van does not.

No loading bay, no congestion charge and no circling for a space. The limit is what goes in a pannier, which is more than most people expect.

05

Wet is another Tuesday.

Everything travels in a dry bag inside the pannier. If a job is too big or too fragile for a bike we say so and point you at someone else.

The round

A city, a pannier, and whatever the weather is doing.

The round runs from seven in the morning to seven at night, and the last hour of it is the one people remember.

The drivetrain
