You bring the problem -- our guys will help you fix it and explain why you do what you do. Show and tell. They carry tools and small parts but not big ones. If you know you need new brake pads, bring them with you (about ?10 for front and back) and they will help you fix them and make sure it's right. Same with other bits like wheels or, unbelievably handle bars, if kind soul has nicked or damaged them.


They will be at Camberwell Leisure Centre in Artichoke Place (see pic) SE5 8TS from 6.30-8.30pm. Their superb services are free and open to all. They like problems (they are easily bored) and not afraid of spiders, so dust off that wreck in the shed and bring it down. See them rub their hands with glee. No need to book just turn up.


All this is funded by Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer cycling in London. Everything we do is free and open to everyone.

    • 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.
