free bike maintenance June 13th Peckham Arch


Recommended Posts

A team offering free bike maintenance aka Dr Bike will be under Peckham Arch this Thursday June 13th from 5.30-7.30pm. They will fix brakes, pump up tyres, index gears (this means try and stop them clicking and jumping) and stop some of the random rattling sounds. The whole thing (like the NHS) is free and open to everyone and (like the NHS) sometimes there is a queue. But hey, sometimes there isn't so roll up.


The Arch is at the north end of Rye Lane which is the south end of Surrey Canal Path. The Arch is reasonably waterproof so we will be right underneath if it's raining and (probably) on the approach ramp if it is not.


This service is provided by Southwark Cyclists out of our own hard earned money. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign and everything we do is free and open to all. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. You can contact us on [email protected] (slow method) or tweet @southwarkcycle.

    • 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.
