Our Dr Bike is one of the best. He's called Charlie and he operates with 2 top class amateur bike fixers. They will adjust your bike to fit, pump up your tyres, index your brakes (which means fix that annoying click, I think), tighten your brakes and generally make everything work more wonderfully.

They will be on Quietway 1 at the Dunton Road/Lynton Way lights from 5-7pm tomorrow Thursday May 17th. A picture of Charlie's tool kit is here https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-qw1-4/ and I'm hoping in the future to add a picture of his smile because it gladdens the heart.

With the mechanics who do all the hard work will be an auxiliary who drums up business, keeps the queue in order and hands out maps and gossip. Everyone is welcome. You do need a bike to take advantage of this amazing offer. Everything is free. A map of QW1 and a picture of the nearest coffee stop are attached.

We are Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer and more enjoyable cycling in London. I think that's a good idea, don't you. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

  The alternative would be to let them free, to be predated on and without parents to teach them the necessities of survival. Clearly this is an unhelpful model of instruction, but, given the ducklings have been born and will not survive without parental care (unless they are hand reared in the school - which I doubt has the capacity of skill for this) then gassing them is the most 'humane' action. The school should perhaps have thought through what is the likely outcome for ducklings which are not being reared by either skilled farmers or ducks. I suspect that the duckings would not be saleable to farmers having been initially born and raised in circumstances which were not sterile for introduction into larger flocks.

  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.
