free bike maintenance with hands-on tuition July 16th NEW VENUE


Recommended Posts

Now in Camberwell Leisure Centre, Artichoke Place, SE5 8TS. It will be outside on warm days and inside on cold/wet ones. Still 6.30-8.30pm and still free to all.


It's a drop-in not a course. The basic idea is that you bring your bike with a problem and the tutor/mechanic sorts it out and shows you what they have done and how to do it yourself. It's OK to just come and watch and learn. The guys know what they are doing and long to teach you.


The sessions are run by Bruno who does all the work with the support of Southwark Cyclists. 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 and the event is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-6/. There's a rather grim picture of the leisure centre attached but don't be put off it's lovely inside, nice staff, cafe etc.

    • 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.
