free bike maintenance under Peckham Arch Sept 12th

Recommended Posts

We've got a lovely new Dr Bike banner and we will be showing it off under Peckham Arch (see pic) from 5.30-7.30pm on Thursday September 12th. Doing the work will be our professional mechanic Charlie (on the left) and our leader Andy (on the right) plus assorted volunteers (I'm not naming them because I'm not clear who they are right now). They will be fixing brakes, indexing gears and giving good advice on wheels ("that one's square") and chains ("too dirty.......needs cleaning". This isn't an alternative to having your bike serviced but if you are planning an autumn service it will help you sort out the shops which are giving good advice and the ones which may not have your best interests at heart.


We are the Southwark branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and the LCC website is here: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav. Like everything we do this Dr Bike session is free and open to all. We fund everything we offer ourselves. How we manage that is a long story. Stop and ask if you really want to know. Any further details on the Dr Bike are here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-under-peckham-arch-18/ and you can contact us on [email protected]; tweet us on @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207 and I will do my best to find out.

    • 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.
