This is on Cycleway 1 (Quietway 1 as was) at the junction of Lynton Road and Dunton Road. See here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-cycleway-1-as-we-are-supposed-to-call-it-now/. Cycling commuters to East Dulwich probably pass this way, so take a look out for us at the lights. It seems to me that the weather is totally unpredictable but at the moment the forecast for Thursday is good. Map attached.


Our professional mechanic will fix noisy, jumping gears, and tighten brake and gear cables. He can also give wise advice on bigger stuff and refer you on to our twice-monthly maintenance plus tuition service on Tuesdays. There's one on the 20th and the one after than is September 3rd https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-8/


All this is free and (I hope) welcoming. These events are organised, staffed and paid for by Southwark Cyclists from our own earnings. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for cycling provision in London. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and you can contact us on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle, reply here or text me on 07842 640 207

    • 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.
