    You can try this one: http://www.onyourbike.com/

    It's big. Not very cheap though. Nothing is cheap in London.

    What sort of riding are looking for?
  • Hi! thanks for answer me!
    I like freeride, urban Assault, street park...
    I know that nothing is cheap in London but somethings are cheapest than here like this
    http://www.ultimatepursuits.co.uk/page. ... roupLevel=

    here this helmet cost £45
    so, there are somethings that I can buy there paying less money.

    thanks again for your help man!

    see you

    Yep...I'd second Decathlon. I get a lot of my bits and pieces there. Their own branded stuff is really cheap. They don't really do top end stuff though if that is what you are looking for.

    With regard to the riding, I think you would love this place although it is a short trip out of London: http://www.eshershore.com/index.htm

    I think a lot of street riding, bmx and skateboarding etc goes on down on the southbank near the Royal Festival Hall - but that's not really my scene so I wouldn't be the best person to ask.
  • Thanks guys, I´ll chek it!
    You help a lot

    see you

    Esher is a short train ride from London Waterloo (about 25 minutes) there are full instructions on the website of how to find the trails from the train station (only a 5 minute ride)

    you'll also find Freeborn Bikes' Esher shop right next door to the trails, and jam packed full of freeride, dirt jump and all-mountain bikes, parts, clothing and accessories

    (you get discount in the shop with your Esher Shore members card) :wink:
