Dr Bike will fix your bike for free June 1st


Recommended Posts

The good doctor and his para-medics will resuscitate your bike -- fix the brakes, pump up the tyres and index the gears -- between 5.30-7.30pm on Thursday June 1st. All free and everyone welcome.


The location of all this good will and hard work will be under Peckham Arch at the south end of Surrey Canal Path. Dr Bike himself; Southwark Cyclists' leader Andy Cawdell and an ace and expert volunteer called Bruno will be there giving their valuable time and wise advice.


Support workers will be on hand dispensing maps, gossip, and publicity but sadly no coffee.


The new TfL cycling maps will be available and freely distributed if you get there on time. If you want to order your own you can do that here: https://tfl.gov.uk/forms/12419.aspx . You can only order 6 at a time unless you pretend to be very important in which case they probably try and send you a bill.


To help you find all the wonderfulness, Peckham Arch looks like this: [upload.wikimedia.org] And the map to find the Arch looks like this: http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?q=peckham+square&mkt=en&FORM=HDRSC4

    • 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? I don’t want people to feel like they need special clothes just to walk or cycle. If you have lights and reflectors and you’re on well lit city streets, there is no reason why drivers shouldn’t be able to see you, assuming of course, that they're driving with due care and attention. But yes, if there are lots of people without lights, that should be addressed. I suspect in part, it's the change over in seasons and the fact that people are getting caught out by how early it's getting dark now (obviously no excuse).

    • 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.
