free bike maintenance Sept 20th Quietway 1

[Sally Eva]

Free Bike Maintenance, also known as Dr Bike, at the Dunton Road/Lynton Road traffic lights on QW1 between 5.30-7.30pm. Or for those (like me) who navigate by coffee shops) just across the road from Crol and Co (see pic). Under the leadership and supervision of ace professional bike mechanic Charlie (see other pic) our volunteers Bruno and Mike will be fettling gears, fixing brakes, pumping up tyres and generally doing the useful stuff I ought to know how to do but don't.

They get bored with too much run-of-the-mill stuff so please bring along problems which are baffling bike shops. OTOH they don't carry large spare parts so if you know you need a new wheel then bring one with you. Bike shops occasionally being economical with the truth our boys can tell you what's wrong with the wheel you've got and what should be done about it.

The whole event is arranged and paid for by southwark cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Everything we do is free and that includes our Dr Bikes. You don't need to belong to the LCC or live in Southwark or anywhere else, although I do hope that you live somewhere.
