From Wednesday May 11th the Bike Train service is expanding to Denmark Hill station. It will leave Denmark Hill at 8.10 am meeting up with the rest of the carriages in Burgess Park. Timetable will be otherwise unchanged, leaving Nunhead at 8am and Peckham Rye Station (from the bike stands behind McDonalds) at 8.10am. The […]
Dr Bike will be back in his usual spot under Peckham Arch this Thursday May 12th with two top mechanics, maps, leaflets and shedloads of (mostly unwanted) advice. The mechanics check brakes, gears and tyres and fix most things on the spot. If you know you need parts and you bring them they will fit […]
The Bike Train ride with no work at the other end of it. What's not to like? The idea is to start from the place the Bike Train starts at Peckham Rye Station, from the bike stands behind McDonalds. Then to follow the Bike Train route up to town, do a loop to look at […]
He hasn't been away of course, but two Thursdays ago, he was under strength. Heroic, magnificent but short-staffed. The doctor returns with renewed vigour this Thursday, May 26th. With his assistants he will fix gears, brakes, tyres and give away wise advice, leaflets and maps. He gives but does not accept, tips. If you bring […]
Want to cycle up to town but worried about getting there safely? Come with us and use our "inside knowledge" (as one pleased rider called it). Our route includes two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the New Kent Road pavement bike lanes, the Elephant and Castle bypass and the lovely new segregation. No need to come […]
The good doctor and his able assistants are back again, fixing bikes, mending tyres, adjusting brakes, indexing gears (is that right? Ed) and handing out wise advice. Three superlative mechanics, gossip, maps, info and assorted leaflets will be under Peckham Arch from 5.30-7.30pm. Everything they provide is free. Everyone is cheerful. All welcome.

Return via Crystal Palace Rd, Rye Lane (past Peckham […]
Bike your way IN to history! Ever wondered about the names of Calais Road, De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill or Delft Way? Did you know that Camberwell had a thriving German population in the 19th century, supporting bakeries, a German church and visiting composers? Or that a community of French Huguenot refugees settled here? Have […]
yes indeed. The Doctor is back with his spanners, limitless knowledge of things bike and his keen and cunning assistants. Let them index your gears, oil your chain, fix your tyres, tighten your brakes and offer you wise advise on that clanking sound (the back wheel). At the same time, assistants who can't mend bikes […]
The Bike Train runs again -- the weather gods are smiling on us. We skip (can trains skip?) between the rain-drops, lightening bolts and thunder. Our route is the usual one; two parks, one traffic-calmed backstreet, the pavement-cycling lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle by-pass and onto the lovely new segregated […]
