This moved to Camberwell Leisure Centre in Artichoke Place (SE5 8TS) at least a month ago now. I shall soon stop seeing the need to keep reminding everyone. The new venue is friendly, hospitable and (as a sign of that) has a cafe. Our guys will be indoors if it's raining, as it seems to do all the time now, and outside, if outside is attractive.


This is a drop-in, not a course. What gets taught depends on what the punters (you) bring in. The guys will help you fix whatever it is and show you how it's done. If you know, or suspect, that you may need parts then it's probably a good idea to bring them with you. The nearest bike shop, that I'm aware of, is Sea Bass in Camberwell Church Street (SE5 8QZ) and that shuts at 7pm.


It's all free and everyone is welcome. The guys are house-trained and personable. They operate under the wing of Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. The event page for this is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-7/. The LCC's website is here: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav. Our email is [email protected], twitter is faster @southwarkcycle and or text me on 07842 640 207 and I will try to assist.

    • 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.
