teddy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Used the cycle stands outside the cinema in Peckham the other day, slightly concerned about the potted trees that can hide your bike/you from passers by. Anyone know if the police were consulted? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/51363-potted-trees-outside-cinema/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peckhamrye Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Oh for God's sake - they are part of the Peckham Places/Spaces project to introduce a bit more humanity into the area - if you are that worried about your bike get a better lock.

Mustard Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Walk or take public transport if you are worried about them. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/51363-potted-trees-outside-cinema/#findComment-797982 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCat Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I always consult the police, Parliament and the UN before I plant any tree, shrub or potplant.

kristen Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 @teddy - there is a relatively safe cycle store just by Peckham Rye stationI think it's open till midnight everyday - http://www.southernrailway.com/southern/news/peckham-rye-cycle-hub-open-for-business/Some of the fixtures are a bit problematic in terms of getting your bike locked securely but I've never had anything taken from my bike (would be interested to hear if anyone has had a different experience) I've left my bike overnight when had to come back a different way due to train problems and all OK. I have also left lights on my bike (something I never used to do before) & all OK. It also can be a bit of a playground for kids - I quite like that.I think the trees and planting are lovely too - they've been there since summer I think? reminds me of the skip garden in King's Cross - http://globalgeneration.org.uk/kings-cross-skip-garden on a smaller scale Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/51363-potted-trees-outside-cinema/#findComment-798152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Medic Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If they hide your bike surely that would be a good thing if you just hadn't told everyone here where you leave it.

Robert Poste's Child Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The trees don't make a difference - it's Peckham. I left my bike outside McDonald's for ten minutes one sunny afternoon last year, and when I came back someone had stuck a huge nail through the side wall of the tyre. If you're worried, use the station bike park.
