free bike maintenance Sept 20th Quietway 1

Recommended Posts

Free Bike Maintenance, also known as Dr Bike, at the Dunton Road/Lynton Road traffic lights on QW1 between 5.30-7.30pm. Or for those (like me) who navigate by coffee shops) just across the road from Crol and Co (see pic). Under the leadership and supervision of ace professional bike mechanic Charlie (see other pic) our volunteers Bruno and Mike will be fettling gears, fixing brakes, pumping up tyres and generally doing the useful stuff I ought to know how to do but don't.


They get bored with too much run-of-the-mill stuff so please bring along problems which are baffling bike shops. OTOH they don't carry large spare parts so if you know you need a new wheel then bring one with you. Bike shops occasionally being economical with the truth our boys can tell you what's wrong with the wheel you've got and what should be done about it.


The whole event is arranged and paid for by southwark cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Everything we do is free and that includes our Dr Bikes. You don't need to belong to the LCC or live in Southwark or anywhere else, although I do hope that you live somewhere.

    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.
