Dr Bike under Peckham Arch August 8th 5.30-7.30pm


Recommended Posts

Just that really. Southwark Cyclists volunteers plus one professional mechanic will be fixing bikes and giving wise advice to everyone who wants it. It's all free, even the wise advice which is invaluable.


They will all be under Peckham Arch (see pic) which is at the north end of Rye Lane where it crosses Peckham High Street towards the Pulse and the Library. The forecast (right now) is hot with a bit of cloud cover which is good cycling weather. There are no ID tests or interrogation. Everyone is welcome, particularly children.


Southwark Cyclists is a branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer and more plentiful cycling in London. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk. Their website is there: https://lcc.org.uk/?ref=nav

Everything we do is free and open to all. Contact us on [email protected], tweet @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207. I may not know but I can probably find out.

    • I am quoting what a Tory SPAD said about Jenrick.  I've not analysed Jenrick's exact words but it sounds like he is going down the GB News route which if true is rather sad.  This was picked up by the media so you can follow this up - an article below, the Mail and Telegraph may have alternative takes. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/jan/05/badenoch-defends-jenricks-remarks-about-people-from-alien-cultures I could stereotype and generalise about many cultures, races, nationalities and religions but I try not to.  I'd rather hear in more detail from a Pakistani community leader and the like rather than a white privileged politician.   https://mcb.org.uk/the-muslim-council-of-britain-calls-for-jenrick-to-be-sacked/
    • I think it should be free and they should pay £1 for every one on target. Proceeds to go towards a Xmas bonus for the street cleaners.
    • Thank you Hayley , kind words .. see you in around 6wks or so , I look forward to the task of renovating your bathroom and utility area . I think these are the only two rooms I haven’t worked on yet . Thanks !
    • Sorry Malumbu, but to say that Pakistani men are being 'demonised' is disgraceful. The men in the rape gangs were predominantly from Pakistan - that is a fact.  To suggest pointing this out is victimisation totally undermines the horror that the predominantly white young girls suffered at their hands. The men exploited this, using their nationality as a shield, and told their victims they wouldn't be believed. And they were right - some of he brave people who did call it out lost their jobs.  To deny there is a strong cultural element to this, so as to protect your fear of being seen as anything other than liberal and progressive, is disingenuous at the very least. And to suggest that calling it out is far right is insane, I'm sure plenty women and girls of Pakistani heritage would agree.  That Jenrick and Badenoch have picked this up and used it as a political football is a really disappointing start to the year, though at least today's debate in PMQs was respectful in its tone. But for the victims to have this glibly brought up and used to bait the other side just goes to show how little some of the protagonists really care about them.
