On the way to the studio on foot - I have a loose crank on my bike and no idea how to fix it.
A closer view.

Nice photos. Loose crank is easy to fix. just tighten either the bolt in the end of the shaft (if there is one) with, probably, an allen key. But be aware that the left hand pedal side TIGHTENS ANTICLOCKWISE (negating the ptential for pedalling loosening the joint)...
There is a bolt in the end of the shaft but nowhere to use an allen key, and not much space round it - it looks like it needs a specialist tool. Although that said I did have a fiddle, but think I was actually loosening it now. I'm not very practical - I missed all my man classes growing up. Thanks again
