Dr Bike will be welcoming all comers with his vast bike-related knowledge, love of hard-work and his team of helpers, meeters and greeter. He will be under Peckham Arch from 5.30-7.30pm tomorrow (Sept 7th). The Arch is the big arch-shaped structure at the north end of Rye Lane (one end is propped up on the Kentish Drovers).

The team tighten brakes, index gears and mend tyres as a matter of course. Rumour has it that they might have a few spare parts (like brake cables) (maybe). For anything much bigger they offer wise advice which is helpful if you need to head off and pay a bike mechanic.

We are Southwark Cyclists, the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Everything we do is free -- there are no residence requirements and everyone is welcome. Any queries or if you get lost, text me on 07842 640 207. You can call me Sally because that's my name. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-under-peckham-arch-3/

  Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers. When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.

  Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor

  Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer.
