Dr Bike on Cycleway 1 Thursday Sept 26th 5.30-7.30pm

Recommended Posts

This is the cycleway from Waterloo to Greenwich: my favourite way to get home to Peckham. Southwark Cyclists will be at the junction of Dunton Road and Willow Walk from 5.30-7.30pm fixing bikes. There should be a little map of exactly where that is on this page https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-cycleway-1/. We tighten brakes, index gears, pump up tyres, and diagnose difficulties.


We carry small parts like brake cables but not bigger ones like wheels and brake blocks. If your bike requires a serious overhaul you may need our indoor, all-weather maintenance session in Camberwell on October 1st, details here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-10/.


Otherwise, just roll up. Like everything we do, Dr Bike is free and open to everyone. Southwark Cyclists is a branch of the London Cycling Campaign, which campaigns for safer cycling in London. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/. You can contact us on [email protected], follow us on twitter @southwarkcycle 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.
