Only two more Dr Bikes under the Arch before the winter. This unrepeatable offer must stop at the end of October. Last one October 27th. After that it's too cold for the mechanics hands and also too dark for them to see what they are doing. Let the Doctor have a look at your bike […]
At the end of October Dr Bike returns to hibernation till Spring, disappearing when the clocks go back and re-appearing when they go forward. The dark he can bear -- it's the cold and wet his hard-working hands don't like. So this is your last chance for a while to have the good doctor check […]

The doctor returns after his winter sleep. He will be under Peckham Arch (south end of Surrey Canal Path) ably assisted by his team of elves.
