free bike maintenance July 19th Quietway 1


Recommended Posts

This is Andy, boss of Southwark Cyclists and the man who earns the money which pays for Dr Bike. Led by pro-mechanic Charlie and staffed by Andy and Mike we will be on Quietway 1 outside Crol coffee shop from 5.30-7.30pm tomorrow (ie July 19th).Pix of Andy and Crol are attached.


The Dr Bike team will be hoping to keep cool under the trees beside Lynton Road at the junction with Dunton Road. This is part of Quietway 1, London's best Quietway, designed by a council engineer with input from Sustrans and us. It's good.


You will need to bring a bike which needs fixing. Other than that there are no rules. Anything we can do on the spot we will and anything we can't do we will give you wise advice about. This is the time of year and the weather (combined with the chaos on the trains) in which people's minds turn to cycling. Let us help you get on the road.


This bike maintenance session is free and open to all. It's organised and paid for by Southwark Cyclists, the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer, more enjoyable cycling in London. To take advantage of it you don't need to live in Southwark or belong to anything at all.

    • 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. 
    • Just wondering- what were they arrested for? If you remember 
    • 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.
    • 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)?
