free bike maintenance evening October 19th

Recommended Posts

Dr Bike, respected expert on bike health, will fettle your wheels (and the rest of it) under Peckham Arch between 5.30-7.30pm on Thursday October 19th.


The good doctor and assistants will fix grinding gears, pump up tyres, tighten your brakes and dispense bike wisdom -- mostly in the form of questions "When did you last clean your chain?" and embarrassing stuff like that.


Other less wise and less valuable assistants will hand out maps, info and gossip. Sadly no coffee. This is the last Dr Bike under the Arch till the spring -- it's getting too cold for their handies -- so gifts will be graciously received.


A picture of the Arch is attached. It's at the north end of Rye Lane just passed the buses-only bit. If you can't find Dr Bike despite the picture and the big hints, first check that it is Thursday and then phone 07842 640 207 for advice.

    • 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).

    • 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.
