Full Cycle
Things have come full circle and bikes are on sale again at number 2 High Street after a gap of ten years.

Braggs closed their Bike Shop at 2 High Street in 2002 having sold cycles for 90 years. Outdoor Traders have moved the outdoor clothing department back to East St Helen Street and are now selling and Bikes and Skis from 2 High Street.

The pavement is being relaid as part of the County Hall project, and Outdoor Traders are closed until 21st April getting a makeover.
Trading from two fronts
The Abingdon Bowls Centre has recently closed on East St helen Street. I hear the man running it has retired . Instead, an Outdoor Traders sign has re-appeared there too. That is where they traded before moving to larger premises.

So it could well be that Outdoor Traders are about to open on two fronts.
