The doctor doesn't look like this, of course, and neither do his bike health care assistants. But pictures of cheerful and friendly looking young women improve everything. No cycle marking, sorry, we're working on it. The different looking doctor and bike nurses will be fixing brakes, indexing gears, pumping up tyres and offering wise advice. […]
This isn't a good likeness of Charlie or Andy but you get the idea. What they have in common is that they are good at fixing bikes. Our bike doctors will be indexing gears, tightening brakes and fixing tyres and their health assistants will be dispensing maps, cycling info and gossip. Charlie and Andy will […]
It seems to be just me who finds black cabs romantic. Most people immediately associate them with enormous fares. Anyway Bike Taxi will not be romantic (during working hours at any rate) and they are free. The idea is that your Bike Taxi will take you anywhere you wish to go -- any time, any […]
The dark adds a little romance to Dr Bike as the night's draw in. It gets cold and wet too so the workers may be huddled together under the Arch to keep warm. As we all know the best way to keep warm is to keep active so keep them working. The good Doctor and his […]
What can I say? The grief, the despair. Nothing to do but stay at home in the warm and drink. The final opportunity of 2017 to get someone to work on your bike for nothing. They may be grumpier than usual. They may be cold. Nevertheless they are still good workers. The good Doctor and […]
The Bike Train has fans (lots of them) but we recognise it can't be perfect for everyone. That's why we are introducing Bike Taxis. These will be customised rides designed for individuals. For some people the Bike Train just doesn't work. They don't work on Wednesdays or they don't like Blackfriars Bridge. If I'm describing […]
Let the Doctor check your bike. The Doctor and his bike health workers will tighten your brakes, pump up your tyres and index your gears. Never make those strange noises again when you brake or change gear. The doctor likes to be challenged so bring your problems along. His aides and attendants will be handing out […]
Doesn't look like your average GP, does he? Certainly the screwdriver and the spanner would worry me if my doctor whipped them out. The mad glare doesn't help either. But more calmly now. Fear not. Dr Bike is returning from his winter sleep. He reckons that by April it will be safe to come out from […]
Isn't she gorgeous? None of our actually Bike Doctors look like this, I'm sorry to have to tell you, so this picture is just an opportunist stunt to stick in a girlie pic. Our Dr Bikes are all male (very male you may feel when you meet them), married (irrelevant) and fully clothed (be grateful). […]
I know he looks a bit mad but he's very good with bikes. Assuming Peckham Arch is still sheltering all-comers, Dr Bike will be under the Arch indexing gears, pumping up tyres, tightening brakes and giving wise advice on filthy chains ("clean it" would be a printable precis) Nothing costs anything. The wise advice is […]
