These hands have been working. Put them to work on your bike. They belong to Mike who is one of the three volunteer mechanics led by ace-pro Charlie who make up the Dr Bike team.
They will tighten your brakes, index your gears and pump up your tyres. All the easy stuff. Speak nicely to them and they will also think about your bottom bracket, sort out your spokes, fix that squeak and tell you why your back wheel wobbles. We don’t carry parts but if you bring brake pads we can fit them. Use our oil. Listen to our wise advice and ask tricky bike-questions. I’ve learned a lot just by listening.
There’s no particular point to any of this apart from making bikes better and being nice to one another. The guys just like doing stuff with their hands. Fixing bikes is their thing.
We have bike maps, local gossip to give as well as receive. Everyone is welcome. We are the Southwark Branch of the London Cycling Campaign and everything we do is free.
