free bike maintenance June 21st


Recommended Posts

Put a team of mechanics, one ace pro and three knowledgeable volunteers, on your bike, tightening brakes, indexing gears, pumping up tyres and a whole lot more.


The team aka Dr Bike will be at the Dunton Road junction with Lynton Road, behind Tesco's on the Old Kent Road, from 5-7pm on June 21st. Just across the road from Cafe Crol (see pic. Any queries pm me or text me on 07842 640 207.


Everything is free. We don?t carry parts so if you know (or suspect) that you need new brake blocks or cables it?s best to bring them. There are no restrictions. Occasionally people ask what the catch is. Let me know if you find out. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safe, enjoyable cycling in London. You don?t have to join, sign anything or live in Southwark.


Everyone is welcome. More details here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-quietway-1/

    • 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.
