free bike maintenance workshop with hands-on tuition

This is tomorrow February 19th 6.30-8.30 at the Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association Hall. Where on earth is that, I hear you cry. Good question, the factual answer is 114 Vestry Road SE5 8PQ. That may not be enough to find it but my pics are too big to attach here. They are on the website (see below). Best verbal description is uphill passed the shops and then down an alley.


This is not a course and what is taught/demonstrated depends on what problems come in. It's being funded jointly by Southwark Cyclists (who are providing the workforce)and Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association (who are providing the hall). It's open to everyone wherever they live and whatever their knowledge or needs.


Everything is free including (probably) small parts but if you need big parts (like wheels)you probably should bring them. You are welcome to come along first and ask for advice. I'm sure it will get cold again but this feels a spring-like moment to take that old bike out of the shed, dust off the spiders and give it a once-over. The boys like a challenge.


For further info look here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/bike-maintenance-workshops-with-tuition/. For further info than that email southwark@lcc.org (slow method) or text 07842 640 207 (marginally quicker). Or just turn up.

    • It's a forum. For discussion and differing opinions.  I do not "respond constantly to everything" - another exaggeration. I post  on forum threads where I have an opinion or information to contribute, as do many others. The forum name you have chosen is interesting. I use my own name. "Head girl" ??? !!! My school would have laughed at that description 🤣
    • You are trying to cast doubt on what I have provided evidence for and I have to ask why? The rubbish wouldn't be scattered if the blue bags were collected on schedule. They are very frequently left in various places around East Dulwich.
    • Your post is confusing. You say I’ve used ‘public shame and ostracism’ that just doesn’t make sense to me.  Maybe southwark should have a similar poster thanks for referring to it. 
    • The shots are mainly of Melford Road and the rubric suggests that the street cleaner bags on 'Thursdays'. The general rubbish collection is on Tuesdays. If the bags haven't been collected on Friday, but have been left for general disruption over the weekend then the bin men will see simply a rubbish strewn road with this rubbish not in any bin. They don't have time to street clean themselves so will not collect it. I reiterate that the crews I see for general rubbish collection, the 'bin men' are careful and considerate in their collections from bins, some of which are indeed very full, to overflowing. They don't collect bagged rubbish left on the street away from bins, nor have they the time or are tasked to clean the streets of scattered rubbish.
