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.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
