Free bike maintenance May 3rd 5.30-7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Assuming Peckham Arch is still sheltering all-comers, Dr Bike will be under the Arch indexing gears, pumping up tyres, tightening brakes and giving wise advice on filthy chains (?clean it? would be a printable precis)


Nothing costs anything. The wise advice is naturally free. One professional mechanic and two first-class amateurs. Maps, chat, cycling gossip. I?m afraid there is sometimes a queue but they clear it quickly.


There must be more to it than that. Er, no there isn?t. We don?t make a profit. You don?t have to join anything, sign anything or do anything more than let the goodwill roll over you. Wave as you go by.


All these good deeds are funded by Southwark Cyclists not the council (no money) or Sustrans (ditto). We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer, more enjoyable cycling in London, pretty much as their name says.

    • 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 😆
