@ColchBK
We're a friendly not-for-profit DIY community bike workshop. Learn to fix your bike yourself, we'll show you how! 🛠💪🚴 Est. 2015. We’re not a bike shop.

If you missed Bike Kitchen last weekend, you have another local opportunity as @ColchBK is at Cannock Mill this Sunday morning. We were at the Fun Day too and this Sunday afternoon we're open for Heritage Day! #cohousing #colchester #coincidence #bike

The workshop will be closed on 31st August as we are attending the New Town Community Fun Day instead, helping our friends at the New Town Bike Hub. We will be offering FREE Dr Bike health checks and repairs as well as FREE BikeRegister security marking. eventbrite.co.uk/e/dr-bike-at-t…

Any recommendations for wide fit road shoes from our brilliant bunch of X followers??

We thought we’d share some of the wonderful feedback we’ve had recently.
It’s our pleasure!

@OTBC69 @CampaignCycling @Essex_CC @Hirst4EssexPFCC @EssexPoliceUK @SaferEssexRoads @CllrKBentley I don’t really see what your problem is then? One death is too many.
English
@ColchBK @CampaignCycling @Essex_CC @Hirst4EssexPFCC @EssexPoliceUK @SaferEssexRoads @CllrKBentley No deaths are acceptable but the world is a risky place. As callous as it sounds risk occurs in our daily life. Shall we all walk around wearing zorb balls? My point is that if the measures go too far, they will be ignored which does not benefit anyone.

Here is the evidence that the Vision Zero strategy of @Essex_CC @Hirst4EssexPFCC @EssexPoliceUK @SaferEssexRoads is failing.
@CllrKBentley has the power to reverse this and get Vision Zero back on track by making 20mph the default speed limit in built up areas across Essex.

Listen to our chair @stuartj0hnson make the case for safe cycling infrastructure and 20mph limits to @yourcolchester's Environment & Sustainability Panel. @CllrKBentley @CatherineSpind2 @Cllr_J_Young youtube.com/live/IDRJOoXyv…

@OTBC69 @CampaignCycling @Essex_CC @Hirst4EssexPFCC @EssexPoliceUK @SaferEssexRoads @CllrKBentley What should they be aiming for? How many deaths are “acceptable”
English
@CampaignCycling @Essex_CC @Hirst4EssexPFCC @EssexPoliceUK @SaferEssexRoads @CllrKBentley Whilst admirable. Zero is a totally unrealistic expectation.

New tool(s) day!
We’ve added to our specialist ebike kit with some bits for Bosch, Bafang and Mahle.
And, of course, this snazzy little number from BSC Tools to keep your levers straight and true (very important!)

We don't often retweet; but this is one for the keen cyclists and keen historians who are also keen on #cohousing Clearly not 100 years ago. Note cycle parking slots, the child's advanced design helmet etc 🙂#turnthemusicoff

What aisle? Scan and go? Will the alarm go off? Car park crit? So many questions

Stage 6 of the Vuelta starts from INSIDE a Carrefour supermarket. Cats are going to be lining up in the cereals aisle, next to the Golden Grahams & the Frosties… Am not even kidding - the press release just went out.

@2_Wheeled_Wolf It’s a sad state of affairs but if you want to beat the thieves… there’s only one way

“The owner had left the bike outside the shop unlocked as they felt it was safe to leave the bike momentarily
🚨WRONG!!🚨
Always lock your bike when leaving it unattended. Seriously. It sucks, but otherwise you’re just inviting theft.

@ColCivicSociety @yourcolchester Would be great to see some “authorised” decoration of all the grey boxes around - these traffic counters, telecoms cabinets etc. perhaps it would discourage graffiti and make the place more vibrant!

OK, we know that this on North Bridge wasn't by any means the worst bit of graffiti tagging and 'stickering' in the city.
Nevertheless we reported it to the folk @YourColchester who quickly sorted it.
Thanks guys.

We're so pleased to see the official unveiling of Alan Palmer Way this week. Alan was an advocate, a supporter and a friend of cycling in Colchester for many years and it's wonderful to see his name in lights!

Yeah could you stop blocking narrow streets with multiple delivery vans please

Trying to get to the workshop and we’re stuck!
Good luck getting a buggy or wheelchair through there. Surely this is unacceptable and unsustainable on every level?
Engine running behind me too “it’s nice and cool in here”
Last mile delivery needs to happen @yourcolchester @FedEx

Earlier today one of our #EyesAndEars team spied this rather sad looking #TierBike by Hythe Bridge.
Looks like someone has retrieved it from the river.
We've reported it to the folk @YourColchester

What a fantastic day celebrating the wonderful diversity that makes our city great ❤️
Colchester City Council@yourcolchester
Oh wow!! 🤩 Colchester has never had a carnival quite like that before! What an incredible procession. The music! The dancing! The costumes! Huge thanks to the Colchester Diverse Communities Network for organising! 🙏💖 Now, enjoy the party at Firstsite!

We had a fantastic wheel@building and truing masterclass from @saltywheelworks this morning. All free - thanks @wearecyclinguk and the #bigbikerevival

@2_Wheeled_Wolf @willbramhill @MarkGoacher “A nice problem to have” as they say, but no good for you!

Today's Gazette articles on bike thefts in Colchester. This can't go on. Police need to be more pro-active and raid known outlets where they end up. Police & Council need to get more cameras up + make arrests & Council must provide more secure bike storage.
