free bike maintenance with hands-on tuition May 21st


Recommended Posts

This two-hour session is a drop-in not a course. It runs from 6.30-8.30pm is at the Lettsom Tenants Hall at 114 Vestry Road SE5 8PQ. What gets taught depends on what problems you bring through the door. The idea is to fix what's wrong while showing you what needs to be done and why so that next time you can consider tackling it yourself.


The sessions are sponsored by Southwark Cyclists and the Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association. The volunteers come through Southwark Cyclists plus a professional mechanic to help with the more esoteric problems. The Lettsom provides the space at a cut rate. You don't need to join anything or live on the Lettsom to take part -- it's all free and open to all.


The only tricky bit can be finding the hall which is tucked away in the estate. The best verbal description I've beem given is uphill past the shops and down an alley on the left. There's a picture of the hall here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-2/


Southwark Cyclists are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which works for safer cycling in London. Everything we do is free and open to all. You can follow us on Twitter @southwarkcycle or for more info on these sessions you can text me on 07842 640 207

    • 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.
