Hello all.


I'm sure we're all aware by now that bike sales have gone up and more people now own them = less places to store them i.e bikeway + cyclehoops. I've just come back from working in various places around the country and have had no luck finding any storage for my bike what so ever. Live on East Dulwich Estate in a tiny studio with very limit space. I've contacted the council and they're not taking grant applications for storage at the moment or seem interested in putting in more cycle storage. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do?

Stay safe x

This is a local guide on how to get bike parking https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/campaigns/how-to-get-secure-cycle-parking-on-your-street/ but I gather you have tried this line already.


If you have any outside space (I'm guessing you don't) or spare cash (ditto) then this bike shed is very secure https://www.shedstore.co.uk/7x3-asgard-access-plus-green-metal-bike-shed-4-bikes?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq6m0lfjR6gIVS7DtCh0qXQ47EAYYBSABEgIdufD_BwE


You probably know all about getting your bike registered. The police like this one https://www.bikeregister.com/. Vandalise your own bike before someone does it for you etc.


Join the London Cycling Campaign and benefit from their insurance cover https://membership.lcc.org.uk/insurance-legal-advice. Check your household insurance (f you have it) and see if it includes stolen bikes.


I'm not sure I'm being very helpful. If you lived in Nunhead I'd offer you a place in my bike shed. Maybe someone nearer to you than me, might do that.

    • I live opposite the Grove and it’s an eye sore and a fire hazard. Dulwich Estate should be ashamed of how they’ve let building just go to ruin.  The skate park is a great edition. The creativity behind the build is to be commended. It’s always in use and there is normally a young woman in a high viz clearly rubbish and picking up trash, so it’s well looked after. The fact that parents bring their little ones here to use the skate park shows it has a purpose in the community.  Unfortunately very late at night it’s used as a “party drinking zone” probably by people completely unrelated to the park. Last Saturday at 2am the music was blaring and you could hear the noise - incidents like this do cause an issue but it’s not the parks fault.  We’ve already had 1 homeless chap living in that space and setting fire to it and that’s my main concern, that there will be a huge fire and someone will be injured or killed. Maybe Dulwich Estate wants it burnt down and declared derelict so then they can do what they want with the land - as I understand there is a “will covenant” regarding what they can do with it.  
    • Unfortunately someone stole two boxes from our front porch today on Limesford Rd, opposite Nunhead cemetery. Across two visits, spanning about 5 minutes, he took two parcels that were left on our doorstep before heading off on his bike. I saw it happen via our doorbell camera but missed him by a couple of minutes. Neither contained anything that valuable, but it was incredibly brazen.  Hoping someone recognises him - or can advise on the best way to file this with the Met?
    • Phoned Fernando Pinto last week, to call and give the grass in my garden the first cut of the year. Fernando arrived on time did a great job and left everything clean and tidy, also a great conversationalist. Many thanks Fernando, who can be contacted on 07946 757938
    • Strangely felt the need to refurbish even though it was literally set up to sell children's items!  Wonder how much that cost
