Assuming Peckham Arch is still sheltering all-comers, Dr Bike will be under the Arch indexing gears, pumping up tyres, tightening brakes and giving wise advice on filthy chains (?clean it? would be a printable precis)

Nothing costs anything. The wise advice is naturally free. One professional mechanic and two first-class amateurs. Maps, chat, cycling gossip. I?m afraid there is sometimes a queue but they clear it quickly.

There must be more to it than that. Er, no there isn?t. We don?t make a profit. You don?t have to join anything, sign anything or do anything more than let the goodwill roll over you. Wave as you go by.

All these good deeds are funded by Southwark Cyclists not the council (no money) or Sustrans (ditto). We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer, more enjoyable cycling in London, pretty much as their name says.

- How do dispose of sharps bins
  
  By elloriac · Posted 43 minutes ago
  
  You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed. They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can.

  Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.
- ULEZ expansion ruled lawful by High Court

  But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you. And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate. Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
