bike maintenance workshop with tuition -- free Jan 8th

Recommended Posts

Bring your bike -- with or without a problem -- for hands on assistance and tuition. It's not a course so what you learn depends on the problem you bring or what you want to know. The guys in charge are knowledgeable but understand that you are probably not. They have lots of patience and enthusiam.


The whole operation is funded by Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association. Lettsom TRA are providing the hall and Southwark Cyclists are providing the expertise. It's all free and open to all. The only thing you need is a bike. In fact, I understand, that a couple of people last time didn't bring bikes. They came for enjoyable bike chat. It's all good.


The session starts at 6.30pm in Lettsom TRA Hall which is at 114 Vestry Road SE4 8PQ. The hall is not actually ON Vestry Road but the best description of how to find it that I've had so far is up Vestry Road, past the shops and down a passage. Pick of the shops will be attached when I can make it smaller -- EDF thinks it's too big.


If you want further info you can ask here, email [email protected] (slow method) or text 07842 640 207 (me). This is all free. Southwark Cyclists are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign and we campaign for safer cycling in London. You don't need to be a member or live in Southwark to take part in anything we do. Further info here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/bike-maintenance-workshops-with-tuition/. Next one Jan 22nd if you miss this one.

    • 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.
