This is Andy, the brain behind all this free bike maintenance. Cyclists cycle 120 miles to Dunwich on the east coast in the light of the full moon and collapse on Dunwich Beach as the sun rises. Those who don't feel like cycling the 120 miles back, climb on a coach and wake up in […]
This is Mike. He is our quiet one. He stopped one day, joined in and since then has turned up every time. Rumour has it that his day job is redesigning the world to be more friendly to bicycles. He will be good at it. With Charlie, Bruno and Andy he makes up the Dr […]
These hands have been working. Put them to work on your bike. They belong to Mike who is one of the three volunteer mechanics led by ace-pro Charlie who make up the Dr Bike team. They will tighten your brakes, index your gears and pump up your tyres. All the easy stuff. Speak nicely to […]
This is Mike. He stopped by one day, joined in and since then has turned up every time. I'm told that his day job is re-designing the world to make it more bike friendly. A big job but he will be up to it. With Charlie, Bruno and Andy he makes up the Dr Bike […]

It's organised by Stop Killing Cyclists, who base their approach on the very successful Stop the Child Murders die-ins in Holland, during the early 70s, which were the catalyst for the transformation of Holland into the most bike-friendly […]
The last Dr Bike of the season. Sad. Let's hope it's not raining because there's no shelter at our workplace -- and it will be getting dark by the end of it too. Four mechanics, one pro and three ace amateurs, will be mending bikes, indexing gears, tightening brakes, pumping up tyres, fixing that squeak […]
Tower Bridge and back. Meet Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park. Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths with additional Dr Bike at start.
