Free bike maintenance workshop with tuition December 4th

Recommended Posts

Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants & Residents Association (henceforth TRA) are holding free bike maintenance sessions with tuition and hands on assistance. You can bring your bike in for a free check-up; come and learn the basics of bike maintenance, or just drop in for a chat about anything bike-related. You can be as clueless as me -- all grades of cycling expertise tolerated and encouraged. You can be an expert, they like a challenge.


The whole operation is free ? you don?t need to live on the Lettsom or even in Southwark. You will need a bike. It doesn't need to have all the bits though they can't be mended unless you acquire them. The man in charge is Bruno whom many people will have met on our summer Dr Bikes. You can bring that bike you found at the back of the shed. He's not afraid of spiders


The sessions start on December 4th 6.30-8.30pm and will be a mix (depending on need) of teaching (this is how you change brakes) and hands-on assistance. They will be held in the Lettsom TRA hall. The official address is 114 Vestry Road SE5 8PQ. But like all estates the numbering and street names can be quite a mystery. The only way found to describe it so far is that it?s just up the hill from the parade of shops, and then down a passage :) Go on be brave. Pic of hall to follow.


All welcome. Free to all. After the 4th they will be every 1st and third Tuesday except in January when they will be the 8th and 22nd. Queries to [email protected]

    • 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).

    • 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.
