free bike maintenance August 10th


Recommended Posts

The rain will have stopped by then (say the weathermen).


Dr Bike is a team of three mechanics, one professional and two top amateurs, sorting out the bikes of all comers. They will index gears, tighten brakes, pump up tyres and give wise advice on every bike topic known to personkind.


They will be under Peckham Arch from 5.30-7.30pm tomorrow Thursday August 10th. If it's raining they will be sheltering under the Arch. If not they will be enjoying the glorious sunshine at the top of the ramp. Attendants will be sorting out the queue, gossiping and handing out maps and cycling info.


The Arch looks like this https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Peckham_Square_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1741872.jpg


it is at the north end of Rye Lane where it crosses Peckham High Street. I've just spent 20 fruitless minutes trying to get Google to give me a proper map so, kindly accept a verbal picture instead.

    • Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
