Lewisham Cyclists got some money from the CCFL (Community Cycling Fund) to set up a drop in self help style workshop (bit like 56a, Hackney Bike Workshop etc...you know the kind of thing) I've uploaded the leaflet which has all the details so far...the service is free, and cost price for parts we provide (basic ones only though...inner tubes, brake pads, cables). Al welcome, although if your bike has lots of problems, best to ring and discuss it with us first!
And if anyone has any bike fixing skills they want to share and would like to help us out, on a volunteer basis (free coffee, tea and cake though!) get in touch. Additionally, we have a small budget to pay a qualified mechanic. Obviously, it's only a few hours a month here and there and you would have to have people skills too...it's not a repair shop, people will be coming to learn as well as get their bikes mended, so you need to be able to share stuff and explain. If you're interested, either in volunteering or the paid mechanic hours, PM me.

Thank you. There's quite a few similar in other parts of London, but not so much in the borough of Lewisham. And the Dr Bikes we used to run at local fairs were always over subscribed...so we thought there was definitely a need.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
