This is on Cycleway 1 (Quietway 1 as was) at the junction of Lynton Road and Dunton Road. See here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/dr-bike-on-cycleway-1-as-we-are-supposed-to-call-it-now/. Cycling commuters to East Dulwich probably pass this way, so take a look out for us at the lights. It seems to me that the weather is totally unpredictable but at the moment the forecast for Thursday is good. Map attached.


Our professional mechanic will fix noisy, jumping gears, and tighten brake and gear cables. He can also give wise advice on bigger stuff and refer you on to our twice-monthly maintenance plus tuition service on Tuesdays. There's one on the 20th and the one after than is September 3rd https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-bike-maintenance-with-hands-on-tuition-8/


All this is free and (I hope) welcoming. These events are organised, staffed and paid for by Southwark Cyclists from our own earnings. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for cycling provision in London. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and you can contact us on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle, reply here or text me on 07842 640 207

    • 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.
