Bike train to central London and beyond July 18th


Recommended Posts

The Bike Train is a guided ride from Peckham Rye and Nunhead Stations to central London. We use segregated cycle lanes, parks and backstreets to keep riders safe all the time. The ride leaves Nunhead at 7.45am, swings by Peckham Rye station at 7.55am and reaches the Thames at 8.30am. We don't go fast. I'm in front and kindly friends reckon I do 8mph (twice walking speed).


Quietway 1 is still the route of choice. London's best in fact arguably its only good Quietway. It's only ten minutes of green route and backstreet from Peckham town centre. Come with us and we'll show you how the most risk-averse can get to central London,?feathers fully unruffled.


QW1 crosses all the approach roads to the Thames bridges ? starting with Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge and finally Blackfriars. Riders can be taken to any one of them, take your pick and be taken on if you let us know in advance.


Any queries text me on 07842 640 207 or mail us on [email protected]. Everyone welcome. Return rides arranged on request. Most things arranged on request. Just ask. If this doesn't suit you but the idea of cycling to work does then think of trying our bike taxis which are a personalised, escorted ride to work.


All this stuff is organised by Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more, safer cycling in London. Everything we do is free and you don't have to join anything. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'! 
    • Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,? 
    • Another recommendation here for Jason.  He came to plaster over a section of ceiling that we had to remove in order to investigate a leak.  He is a really lovely guy, easy to get in touch with and great communication.  He was quick, tidy and competitively priced.  Very happy and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.
    • I run my own business making children's themed birthday hampers, party bags and more for all occasions, feel free to get in touch on 07493638779 for more photos of what I do.
