Free bike maintenance Thursday September 7th


Sally Eva

Recommended Posts

Dr Bike will be welcoming all comers with his vast bike-related knowledge, love of hard-work and his team of helpers, meeters and greeter. He will be under Peckham Arch from 5.30-7.30pm tomorrow (Sept 7th). The Arch is the big arch-shaped structure at the north end of Rye Lane (one end is propped up on the Kentish Drovers).


The team tighten brakes, index gears and mend tyres as a matter of course. Rumour has it that they might have a few spare parts (like brake cables) (maybe). For anything much bigger they offer wise advice which is helpful if you need to head off and pay a bike mechanic.


We are Southwark Cyclists, the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Everything we do is free -- there are no residence requirements and everyone is welcome. Any queries or if you get lost, text me on 07842 640 207. You can call me Sally because that's my name. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-under-peckham-arch-3/

    • Dunstans Road  comes under Dulwich Hill SNT- you can get their details on the Met Police website . I know that the Police are often patrolling Dawson Hights. Please contact them,
    • 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).
    • 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.
