bike train to central London May 16th 7.45am


Recommended Posts

We are using QW1 (map attached). London's best and in some ways only (decent) quietway. It's Greenwich to Waterloo and passes within half a mile of Peckham with a quiet linking route. TfL don?t approve of signposting how to get to Quietways (don?t ask) so we can?t have any signs pointing the way. But you can come with us and we?ll show you.


The Bike Train leaves Nunhead station at 7.45am , and leaves the Peckham Rye station at 7.55am. Departures are from the bike stands behind McDonalds on the north side of the station. We all know where McDonalds is even if we don?t go there.


Then full steam to Quietway 1 and full steam to Blackfriars Bridge by 8.30am. From there protected lanes lead north towards Kings Cross, west towards Westminster and east towards Tower Bridge. The most dangerous bit of your ride will be Rye Lane.


Return rides arranged on request. The train is led by me and I?m 65. My pace is sedate. I haven?t outpaced anyone for a long time. It?s all free. There is no catch. It?s helpful if you text me to say you are coming: 07842 640 207 or email [email protected] for more info.

    • Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers.    When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.    
    • Good that PETA is on it but can we add our voices to the fight against this horrible practice? I’m still shocked! A petition maybe? Happy to raise to the RSPCA but don’t want to duplicate efforts. I’ve signed campaigns from RSPCA before which sends it directly to your councillor
    • Yes, I'm aware of that. I believe the brood was five to begin with. However they are almost adult size now so not the prey of rats any longer. 
    • Happy to recommend Greg. Lovely guy and a really hard worker, high standard of work, clean and tidy too. Greg sorted out a tricky water tank problem in a tight space in a loft, staying late into the evening to get the correct parts and fix the problem. Thanks Greg!
