free bike maintenance under Peckham Arch October 10th

Recommended Posts

This is the last session under the Arch this year. We don't carry on after the hour change -- the mechanics' hands get too cold and they can't see what they're doing. Seem like good reasons. They will be working away from 5.30-7.30pm. A pic of the Arch is attached.


Our great team of mechanics (volunteers led by a pro) fix brakes, index gears, pump up tyres, and look for the source of that squeak. They are multi-talented and enjoy a challenge so if you've got one, bring it along. If you can't get along then we also run a teach-and-mend session at Camberwell Leisure Centre on the first and third Tuesdays of every month. The next one will be October 15th. That is a bit later -- 6.30-8.30pm.


All this stuff is free and (we hope) welcoming. We are Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and the LCC's website is here: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav. You can contact us on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207. I might or might not know the answer but I'm friendly.

    • 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. 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.

    • 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. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
