About Quay Street Spokes

Independent notes on Roll for the Soul, the community bike cafe that ran on Quay Street in Bristol, and on cycling in the city.

About this address

From 2012 to 2017 this address carried the website of Roll for the Soul, a community bike cafe and workshop in Bristol, which closed at the end of 2017. Its archived pages stayed online for a few years. Later the address passed to others and had no connection with the cafe any more. Quay Street Spokes is written by new, independent editors. It is not the website of Roll for the Soul or of any company, cafe or workshop, is not affiliated with them or endorsed by them, and uses none of their logos, photos or text. It sells nothing, hires out nothing and takes no bookings.

Why each page ends with a Dutch energy guide

A bike cafe that once ran a pedal-powered cinema is a good place to think about where electricity comes from and how it is billed. In the Netherlands the rules for home solar power change on 1 January 2027, when the salderingsregeling stops. Each page follows that line from its own subject and closes with the full Dutch guide of energievergelijken2027.nl.
