Put these tools to work on your bike. The good Doctor and his attendant bike nurses will fettle your bike. They index gears, tighten brakes, pump up your tyres and warn you to clean your chain. Their bike health care assistants have maps, info, and lots of local cycling-related gossip. All this for your bike. It's […]
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. […]
Bike Trainers past -- looking surprisingly lovely really when you think what the organisers look like. Arriving at work with a smile on their faces. You can do that too. Come with us and learn off-road and segregated routes to central London via Blackfriars. We bike-buddy riders to their final destination. Escorted all the way and […]

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 […]
Easy-paced, 3.5 hour ride, as much as possible on quiet roads and cycle paths. Meet at Canada Water, beside the Library, opposite the Station, SE16 7AR. Another ride along the Thames, but this time going west. Repeat of a ride we have done a few times, led as usual by Philippa. Last time was May […]
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 […]
Quiet route going through 5 large parks plus looking in on the Herne Hill Velodrome. Gentle uphills only – no big climbs. Start at the Pavilion Café, Dulwich Park. Then go to Peckham Rye Park and down Rye Lane past our 4th Saturday start location in Peckham Square. Continue down the Canal Path to Burgess […]
This is my back. My best bit. The front is quite friendly. The vest is a bit out of date. We are running our Bike Taxi to central London via Quietway 1 which is a great route but can be tricky to find from Peckham and Nunhead. Come with us on Wednesday and we will show […]
