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 […]

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 The vest is a bit out of date.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 […]
We've invited speakers representing British Land to come and talk to us about what's going on at Canada Water. British Land has spent five years assembling the Canada Water site. It includes Surrey Quays Shopping Centre and Harmsworth Quays, the former Daily Mail General Trust printing works. Last piece in the jigsaw was its acquisition of […]

This is your (aging) train crew. I'm the bald one in the middle with my husband Bob on my right and my boss, Andy, co-ordinator of southwark cyclists on my left. We are pausing for thought near the BMX track in Burgess Park. We don't think much so it was a short stop. If we […]
What can I say? The grief, the despair. Nothing to do but stay at home in the warm and drink. The final opportunity of 2017 to get someone to work on your bike for nothing. They may be grumpier than usual. They may be cold. Nevertheless they are still good workers. The good Doctor and […]
