This ride starts in Dulwich Park outside the Dulwich Clock Cafe (SE21 7BQ) and it's an easy ride avoiding any big hills. The outward leg goes via Herne Hill Velodrome and Brixton Windmill. There will be a brief coffee and loo break at the cafe near the bandstand on Clapham Common. The return leg will be via Brockwell Park and Bel Air Park.

This ride is organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Like everything else we do it is free and open to everyone. All our rides are posted on lcc.org.uk/events -- if it is isn't there it isn't run by us and won't be covered by our insurance. Here is this one: https://lcc.org.uk/events/dulwich-to-clapham-common-southwark-healthy-ride-2?esid=14591

Plus a reminder that there will be a free family cycling event on March 9th. This is run by Cycle Confident and paid for by Southwark Council. It's a 4 hour family cycling taster session in Dulwich Park on Saturday March 9th from 12.30 to 4pm. You don't need to stay for it all. You do need to bring your own bike. If you have friends who do not feel ready for a Healthy Ride, going to an event like this might help to build their confidence.

  What would I do about cyclists? The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal. Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles. I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road. More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets. If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.

  I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise. This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties. Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"

  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,?
