  1. Hi southwark cyclists run a Bike Train from Denmark Hill station to Blackfriars with a branch to waterloo if that's where you want to go. We leave Peckham Rye station (from the bike stands behind McDonalds beside the station) at 8.10am and get to Blackfriars north side at 8.45am. We can easily peel a buddy rider off with you to Waterloo and you would arrive about the same time. if the times don't suit you then get in touch because we can arrange individual rides. Return rides are arranged individually on the day. Cyclists who have been doing the route with us for a few weeks start to manage their own rides home and after a while they are helping others and the whole thing is very jolly. We use a very safe route to get to the segregated routes at the Elephant. At no point is anyone sharing the road with a bus or a lorry. Most of the time there is a reassuring width of concrete between you and the nearest large vehicle. if you are interested private msge me or text me on 07842 640 207 and I can send you a map etc or you can come with us OR you could ride the bike train route this sunday am. Look on the "two social cycle rides this weekend...." thread in the What's on in ED chat group and you will see full info. Or again text me, look at southwarkcyclists.org.uk or just turn up
  2. Southwark Cyclists are running their Bike Train up to town on a Sunday so that this "bit of inside knowledge" (as one rider called it) can be shared as widely as possible. Starts 10am from where the Bike Train starts in Peckham -- by the bike stands behind McDonalds in Rye Lane. Expected to finish in the same place 12ish Ride Leader Bruce Lynn will take riders up to Blackfriars Bridge by the Bike Train route of two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the cycling lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle by-pass and then the lovely new cycle lanes over the river. He will (probably) then sweep west along the segregated route on the Embankment to Westminster. At Westminster Bridge he's got a choice He may turn right and head for St James' Park and Birdcage Walk (maybe do a circuit when the roads are closed to traffic on a Sunday). Or he may turn over the bridge and come back along the south bank, past the Eye, the Festival Hall, the National Theatre etc. Or both. What he will choose will probably depend on the weather and what everyone wants to do. All welcome. Bring bigger kids or have a nice time without them. You can let us know you are coming or just turn up.
  3. I don't know if anyone should trust themselves to me when I can't even get the date right. The next Bike Train is May 18th. All the rest is right, I think. If you are interested, get in touch, or just turn up
  4. Hi, Southwark cyclists run weekly taster rides from Peckham Rye, Denmark Hill and Nunhead Stations up to Blackfriars, Faringdon, Westminster and Mayfair. The idea is to use the safest possible route to get to the new segregated cycle lanes from the Elephant and Castle onwards. The rides, known as the Bike Train, set off from Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill Stations at 8.10am and get to Blackfriars at 8.45am. We take riders on from there individually to Faringdon, Mayfair and Westminster (only if they want to go, of course). The whole she-bang is free etc and we can tailor it to suit your personal ride. Rides back are arranged individually. The route goes through two parks, a traffic calmed back street, the pavement cycle lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle by-pass and then the new segregated lanes. The next Wednesday Bike Train is this Wednesday May 11th. If you are interested get in touch Sally
