Bike Train to Central London September 28th

[Sally Eva]

Not many more of these weekly ones before we move to our winter timetable. However, it's still summer so:

A Bike Train is an escorted ride.

We take riders from Peckham, Denmark Hill and Nunhead to work, arriving at the north end of Blackfriars Bridge at 8.45am. Return rides arranged personally.

We leave Nunhead at 8am, Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations at 8.10am. At Denmark Hill we leave from the cafe in Windsor Walk led by Liz Eden (07814 515 715). The two rides meet and arrive at Blackfriars at 8.45am. The starting point at Peckham Rye is the bike stands behind McDonalds. From Blackfriars riders are taken on individually (if they want) and destinations so far include Faringdon, Kings Cross, Westminster, Mayfair and Tower Hill.

Our route takes in two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the cycling-on-the-pavement lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle by-pass and then the new TfL segregation. It?s very quiet and enjoyable, mostly off-road (through parks) and then a backstreet. After that we are on segregation which is where there is a part of the road for bikes only, protected by about 2m of pavement.

The map is here:

Entirely free and all welcome. To join in Denmark Hill text Liz Eden on 07814 515 715 or for Nunhead and Peckham text me on 07842 640 207 or don?t do any of that and just turn up.
