The leisure centre is friendly, cheerful, accessible and welcoming. Bruno and the boys are the same. Everyone is welcome and no one pays. This is a drop-in not a course. […]

Our Dr Bikes are cancelled until further notice. The guys are back, doing a basic overall bike check, then any "small" fixes like adjusting brakes and gears, checking chain wear, offering advice if you need to take it to the shop, the occasional hub bearing adjustment, quick wheel true or cable replacement, and whatever else […]

Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be representing the community in a mutual protection society with PCSO Kevin Phillips. The only people angry about CSW are motorists. The community representation (Bob) shows that people without cars care about speeding and Kevin in full police uniform answers the charge that "if speeding mattered the police would do […]

Our guys will be in the cheerful and friendly Camberwell Leisure Centre in wonderfully named Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. It’s a delightful building with cafe, good staff and, now, great bike fixing. Free and everyone welcome. It’s not a course, it’s a drop-in. What gets taught depends on what problems you bring in. The guys […]

Dr Bike on Quietway 1 at the junction of Lynton Road and Dunton Road and across the road from Cafe Crol (see pic) to be exact. The guys are kept in order by a professional mechanic who brings the tools and helps with the tricky stuff. They are pretty good independently though, indexing gears, tightening […]

Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. Simon will […]
Salter Road gets a lot of attention from the Community Speedwatch teams. That's because speeding drivers along here have a habit of handing out frights. Werner, who leads some of our Healthy Rides and Bank Holiday specials, doesn't appreciate frights. He likes to get even. The result is a lot of speed measurement on Salter […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be holding the speedgun and PCSO Kevin Phillips will be writing down the registration numbers on Dog Kennel Hill near the junction with Quorn Road. Dog Kennel Hill does (probably) have a real connection with dogs in that Prince George of Denmark had kennels for his hounds here. However, there is also a theory that an […]

There are guys fixing lots of other things too so you can bring those along as well. Despite the attractive-looking pavement […]
