Not such a happy new year because Southwark Cyclists will not be able to run our free sociable cycle rides for a while. However, we are still allowed to take exercise with one other person from a different household and, as we know, cycling is great exercise. It makes you happy, keeps you fit and costs nothubg.

If you are just starting out you may be wondering where to go. You might like to try one of our suggested "do-it-yourself" routes with full turn-by-turn instructions. The details are here https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/do-it-yourself-hrs/details on the Southwark Cyclists web site. There are nine shorter routes with starting points across the borough. They are titled ?Short Rides for the Lockdown?,https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/do-it-yourself-hrs/short-rides-for-the-month-april/ and you can see them all on this composite map:

These are designed like the healthy rides using as far as possible paths and quiet streets. They can all be completed in under and hour and should feel safe all the time. To find routes of your own you could try https://cycle.travel/. Remember, you need lights from about 3.30pm and preferably from 3pm. Any questions, you can DM me and I will do my best to answer you questions or find someone else who knows more than me

  I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.

  You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

  Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap. He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
