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.

    • 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.
