free bike maintenance May 18th


Recommended Posts

Dr Bike is back again. Two if not three doctors actually. They will be under Peckham Arch (south end of Surrey Canal Path) ably assisted by their team of elderly elves from 5.30pm to 7.30pm on May 18th and then every other Thursday


The doctors will tighten your brakes, pump up your tyres and do technical things to your gears which will stop them clicking and jumping and not feeling quite right. They will also give wise advice on whether larger scale or more serious things need doing.


The elves have supplies of propaganda, and info on local cycling matters aka gossip. TfL have reprinted the cycling maps so they will have paper maps and (for the young) advice on cycling route-finding apps for your phone.

    • No one is arguing that people should cycle without lights or reflectors. Obviously they should. It is also a legal requirement. But the colour of someone’s clothing? Is it ok to wear navy? What about green? What shade? At what point should we have ‘no reason for sympathy’ if they’re in a collision? How many tone variations in their clothing before it’s ok to claim they’re ‘invisible’?
    • Found it but cannot contact owner as no email or message on it. e*****@icloud.com   please let me know if you’ve recently lost an Apple Watch SE
    • What a passionate thread this is. I have worked in cycling for years, am a cyclist, a driver, use public transport etc. Driving last night with my two young kids, who also cycle, we made the same observations. It was the kids who first asked me why are most cyclists wearing full black and no lights. We then played a game who can spot all the cyclists, and count those with lights and those without. This teaches them to look out for them but also not to put themselves in a position where we have to strain to find them. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
