Cycle maintenance on lambethcyclists.org.uk
Lambeth Cyclists are organising more cycle maintenance classes: sign up now for  the next set of five classes which will start on  24 January 2012

Feedback from earlier classes shows they have been very well received. As one participant put it:

"Simon is a fantastic, patient teacher who makes sure everyone "gets it". I found the course to be great value, having paid for itself several times over in savings on shop servicing. Couldn't recommend it enough."

Help Lambeth make one way streets two way for cyclists

Lambeth Council are working hard to return one way streets across the borough to two way for cycling.

No entry except cyclists sign
Two way working for cycling allows us to go legally from A to B avoiding detours due to one way streets etc. There has in some cases been local opposition where for example a street is used extensively for residential car parking. If you are consulted on this in a street near where you live vote for two way working. If there is a one way street near you which you would like to be considered for two way working for cyclists please send details to cycling@lambeth.gov.uk and copy us in so that we can keep records and investigate the progress of two way for cyclists working
