The guys will tell you what's wrong with your bike and help you fix it. You learn on the job with experienced oversight. You are welcome to come and just watch how stuff is done. Each session is a one-off not a course. What happens depends on what rolls in. It's all free and everyone is welcome.

All this happens indoors 6.30-8.30pm on the first and third Tuesday of every month. The guys will be working in or around the reception area in Camberwell Leisure Centre, in the delightfully named Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. The mechanics carry some small parts like cables but not bigger ones like brake pads or wheels. There are bike shops in Camberwell where such things are for sale and Sea Bass Cycles in Camberwell Church Street is open till 7pm.

The session is run by Bruno Williams on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who fund it. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and the LCC website is here: https://lcc.org.uk. You can contact us directly on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle or text me on 07842 640 207. Everyone welcome.

  Ask the surgeries. Most dentists I have been to were child friendly. The only one was the school dentist who'd come in a caravan and do lots of unnecessary work, which I now suffer from.

  Round-robin letter received this week regarding this. Main points are that the number of new homes is being reduced from 877 to 867. OK, not much change there, but.... "A reduction in the number of affordable homes from 270 (35% by habitable room) to 77 (12% by habitable room)" That's a 72% reduction in the number of affordable homes. I don't know a lot about this kind of thing, but it seems that just 77 affordable homes in a development of 867 is a massive pee-take in an area where a 1-bed flat is £400K+ if it isn't "affordable." If you're interested, the application can be viewed at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/ ref 24/AP/2074 and there's a lot of objections to the reduction in affordable homes. The drop-in sessions are Weds 26th Feb (Peckham Library) and Mon 3rd March (All Saints Church) at 3pm. Full details attached. 24_AP_2074-FILE_COPY_-_NEIGHBOUR_NOTIFICATION_LIST-4005193.pdf
- VW badge theft in ED - advice on next steps

  I noticed 4 gone in a short stretch of Bellenden Road alone this weekend. I had no idea it was to do with the tech and thought that it was a retro Beastie Boys thing. Showing my age. Sorry I can only find a Facebook link if you are too young to remember this: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=578367166664170 Totally agree that it's a bad design flaw, and I bet the actual cost of the parts to VW is minimal so they could easily cough up some of the replacement costs. It's depressing that someone can go along a street popping these things off cars with very little worry about being prosecuted.
