free bike maintenance with tuition June 18th Camberwell


Recommended Posts

This is a joint venture with the Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association using the tenants' hall in Vestry Road. Southwark Cyclists volunteers supervised by a professional mechanic fix all bikes and teach how to do it. The show-n-tell method. Result: your bike gets fixed and you have more idea how to do it yourself when it goes wrong again. This is all free and open to all.


Two weeks ago the session was held outdoors because the TRA mislaid the key. It's not clear whether they've found it again now so let's hope. The session is 6.30-8.30pm. The tuition is not being taught as a class or series. What gets taught depends on what problems come in. So if you are interested just rock up and there should be something new going on.


The only tricky bit I'm told is finding the hall. There's a picture of it here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-4/ with (slightly) more detailed instructions. I saw it yesterday by accident but I'm not sure I could find it again.


Southwark Cyclists is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns to make London's cycling facilities world class. Everything we do is free and open to everyone. To get in touch email [email protected] (slow method), tweet @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207. I might not know the answer but I'm friendly.

    • 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.
