free bike maintenance July 19th Quietway 1


Recommended Posts

This is Andy, boss of Southwark Cyclists and the man who earns the money which pays for Dr Bike. Led by pro-mechanic Charlie and staffed by Andy and Mike we will be on Quietway 1 outside Crol coffee shop from 5.30-7.30pm tomorrow (ie July 19th).Pix of Andy and Crol are attached.


The Dr Bike team will be hoping to keep cool under the trees beside Lynton Road at the junction with Dunton Road. This is part of Quietway 1, London's best Quietway, designed by a council engineer with input from Sustrans and us. It's good.


You will need to bring a bike which needs fixing. Other than that there are no rules. Anything we can do on the spot we will and anything we can't do we will give you wise advice about. This is the time of year and the weather (combined with the chaos on the trains) in which people's minds turn to cycling. Let us help you get on the road.


This bike maintenance session is free and open to all. It's organised and paid for by Southwark Cyclists, the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer, more enjoyable cycling in London. To take advantage of it you don't need to live in Southwark or belong to anything at all.

    • 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.
