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.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
