Recommended Posts

The guys will tell you what's wrong with your bike and help you fix it. You learn on the job with experienced oversight. You are welcome to come and just watch how stuff is done. Each session is a one-off not a course. What happens depends on what rolls in. It's all free and everyone is welcome.


All this happens indoors 6.30-8.30pm on the first and third Tuesday of every month. The guys will be working in or around the reception area in Camberwell Leisure Centre, in the delightfully named Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. The mechanics carry some small parts like cables but not bigger ones like brake pads or wheels. There are bike shops in Camberwell where such things are for sale and Sea Bass Cycles in Camberwell Church Street is open till 7pm.


The session is run by Bruno Williams on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who fund it. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and the LCC website is here: https://lcc.org.uk. You can contact us directly on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207. Everyone welcome.

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