free roadside bike maintenance May 23rd aka Dr Bike


Recommended Posts

This will be on Quietway 1 at the Dunton Road/Lynton Road traffic lights by Cafe Crol (good coffee and nice vibe). It's organised by Southwark Cyclists https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and personned by our enthusiastic volunteers and south-east London's best pro-mechanic. They will be at the lights from 5.30-7.30pm and everything they do is free and friendly. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-quietway-1-5/


They fix a lot of things like gears and brakes on the spot. They carry cables but not a lot else so if you know you need new wheels, bring them with you. For serious bike rebuilding there is an indoor session with hands-on tuition on June 4th https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-3/


Like everthing we do all these events are free and open to all. You don't need to join anything or live anywhere (although I hope you live somewhere) in order to take advantage of these wonderful offers.

    • 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.
