A Community Network for Bowes Park and Bounds Green
I came across this very interesting and worthwhile shop recently.
They are a charity / community group who support people with disabilities.
Donated old bikes are rebuilt/ serviced by trainee bike mechanics some of whom have disabilities. The bikes are sold at very reasonable prices.
I had a chat with the professional mechanic, he said they also repair and service bikes and they have a cafe so you can relax while you wait.
Some of the funds are used to buy special designed bikes for people with disabilities.
I didn't note the number of the shop but it was almost opposite the Tesco Metro . Tel no 0208 8881005
Please support the shop by ...donating any old bikes / buying a used (serviced) bike / having your bike serviced.

I agree its a great project - there is a bit more background and a few photographs on a forum post from back in the summer (Follow this Link)
Thanks for the link - hope people will support this worthwhile project.
