If it?s been a few weeks since you came, you need to know that the venue has changed. It?s now in the cheerful and friendly Camberwell Leisure Centre in wonderfully named Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. It?s a delightful building with cafe, good staff and, now, great bike fixing. We will be outside if it's sunny and indoors if it's raining from 6.30-8.30pm

Still free and everyone welcome. It?s not a course, it?s a drop-in. What gets taught depends on what problems you bring in. The guys that do it are well known greats from our summer-time Dr Bikes at Peckham Arch and on Quietway 1. They fix your bike and at the same time show you what to do and how you might do it yourself. The whole shebang is free, cheerful and open to anyone. No ID checks. You need to bring a bike to get full benefit but you are welcome to come without one and watch.

For more info about this and future events, keep an eye on our website https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk, email [email protected] though that can be slow, keep an eye on @southwarkcycle or text 07842 640 207. We are a borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign https://lcc.org.uk and other boroughs run lots of other events https://lcc.org.uk/events. Everything we do is free and open to all.

  Unless we don't fly I don't think we can be too critical of the authorities.

  In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.

  Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost.

  I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or 6 am, and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
