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 […]
See as much (or as little) as he sees. This information could save your life. You can get your bike safety marked and registered at the same time which could save your bike.

Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday or, lapsing into English, Shrove Tuesday. Your last chance to eat sugar, butter, eggs and flour for a month.

Take a look at life from the cab of a lorry and see how much (or how horrifyingly little) the driver sees. 'Exchanging Places' cycle safety events are run by the Metropolitan Police and allow cyclists to get a better understanding of what drivers of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) and buses see around them by sitting […]
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. The doctor will tighten your brakes, pump up your tyres and do technical things to your gears which will stop them clicking and jumping and not feeling quite right. […]
Special events across the day! We start with the morning Bike Trains to Blackfriars from Nunhead and North Dulwich.
