Dr Bike will fix your bike for free Thursday May 17th


Recommended Posts

Our Dr Bike is one of the best. He's called Charlie and he operates with 2 top class amateur bike fixers. They will adjust your bike to fit, pump up your tyres, index your brakes (which means fix that annoying click, I think), tighten your brakes and generally make everything work more wonderfully.


They will be on Quietway 1 at the Dunton Road/Lynton Way lights from 5-7pm tomorrow Thursday May 17th. A picture of Charlie's tool kit is here https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-qw1-4/ and I'm hoping in the future to add a picture of his smile because it gladdens the heart.


With the mechanics who do all the hard work will be an auxiliary who drums up business, keeps the queue in order and hands out maps and gossip. Everyone is welcome. You do need a bike to take advantage of this amazing offer. Everything is free. A map of QW1 and a picture of the nearest coffee stop are attached.


We are Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer and more enjoyable cycling in London. I think that's a good idea, don't you. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
