free bike maintenance August 2nd Peckham Square


Recommended Posts

Our team of volunteers, led by professional mechanic Charlie, will fix brakes, index gears, pump up tyres and knowledgeably discuss bottom brackets. They often but not always carry small parts so it?s best to bring them yourself if you know or suspect that you need them.


All this is organised by Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Everything we do is free. You don?t need to live in Southwark or be a member of anything at all. People sometimes ask why we?re doing this and TBH I?m not entirely sure but we have a good time and everyone seems pleased with the results.


You can find us between 5.30 and 7.30pm in Peckham Square between Peckham Pulse and Peckham Library. Pic of the Arch is attached.

    • 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.
