The Gear and Spoke Bicycle Shop

Inside a timber-lined bicycle shop, a bearded man in a leather apron holds a pale blue step-through frame on a repair stand while a young woman in an orange shirt spins a wheel true on a second stand. Behind them a sign reads "The Gear & Spoke", flanked by enamel cycling posters, pennants and green pendant lamps. A pegboard of wrenches, pliers and screwdrivers covers the left wall above a bench with a vice and a red toolbox; jars of small parts, helmets and tyres fill the shelves. Rows of bicycles crowd the right wall in red, green and teal, wicker baskets on their bars, with a child's trike and a red tricycle on the floor. A ginger cat naps on the rug among dropped spanners and cogs. Repeated wheels and bright frames give the eye steady landmarks.
