free bike maintenance July 5th


Recommended Posts

Our best bike team will be in the sunshine on the crescent-shaped bench in the pic in front of Peckham Arch between 5.30 and 7.30pm. A pic of our chief mechanic is attached. He keeps the team in order and solves the troublesome "what's-gone-wrong-here" questions that they can't solve.


Everyone will be mending bikes, indexing gears, tightening brakes, pumping up tyres, fixing that squeak and telling you why your back wheel wobbles. We don?t carry parts but if you bring brake pads we can fit them. Use our oil. Listen to our wise advice and ask tricky bike-questions. I?ve learned a lot just by listening.


Peckham Arch is due to be demolished but if it hasn?t been we will be near it. A pic is attached. For those who prefer postcodes it's SE15 5JT. That's the library not the Arch which doesn't seem to have a postcode but if it isn't right you will be very close.


A small amount of additional information is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-under-peckham-arch-9/. This service is brought to you by Southwark Cyclists, the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Everything we do is free and this is no exception.

    • Well worth signing up to become a "supporter" as they send their updates and often shed light on things the council and their supporters would rather didn't get too much attention! https://www.onedulwich.uk/get-involved
    • Spot on...and they rant against "anonymous" groups like One Dulwich and then post missives from "anonymous" lobby groups like Clean Air Dulwich without any sense of hypocrisy or irony...
    • The original council proposals for the area around the Dulwich cross roads were made well before Covid - and were rejected then by locals. The council used the Covid legislation to push through the LTNs when opposition was not allowed. LTNs, as experiments were some good (reduced traffic in areas which did not push traffic elsewhere and which did meet the needs of residents - typically in places very well served by public transport and where the topology (absence e.g. of hills) allowed wide use of cycling and walking - not as it happens a good description of the Dulwich (inc ED, WD and ND) areas.)  Dulwich never met Southwark's own description of ideal LTN areas, but did happen to match Southwark Councillor ambitions dating way back. One Dulwich has been clear, I believe that it is anti this LTN but not, necessarily all LTNs per se. But as it is One Dulwich is has not stated views about LTNs in general. In the main those prepared to make a view known, in Dulwich, have not supported the Council's LTN ambitions locally - whilst some, living in the LTN area, have gained personal benefit. But it would appear not even a majority of those living in the LTN area have supported the LTN. And certainly not those living immediately outside the area where traffic has worsened. As a resident of Underhill, a remaining access route to the South Circular, I can confirm that I am suffering increased traffic and blockages in rush hours whilst living some way away from the LTN. All this - 'I want to name the guilty parties' -' is One Dulwich a secret fascists cabal whose only interest is being anti-Labour?' conspiracy theorising is frankly irrelevant - whoever they are they seem to represent feelings of a majority of actual residents either in the LTNs, or in parts of Dulwich impacted by the LTNs. And I'm beginning to find these 'Answer me this...' tirades frankly irritating.
