Gloomy but mild: that's the weather forecast for Saturday's social cycle ride. It starts from Peckham Square at 10am -- meeting on arc-shaped bench at the foot of the steps. The route is circular going south,uphill for a while over Telegraph Hill. Then down to the Waterlink Way at Brookmill Park.The only positive thing about going uphill (apart from the view) is coming down again.

Then along National Route 21, over Halfpenny Bridge (LCN 2)(what a delightful name) and on to the Cutty Sark. There will be a brief break there before returning along the river. We will cross the new swing bridge, and then follow Quietway 1 to Surrey Canal Rd.

By now we are ready to turn south towards Peckham again. We follow the lovely path across Bridgehouse Meadows followed by the dreadful non-crossing of Old Kent Rd to Brimmington Park. Then quietish roads and path to Peckham Square.

For route see http://goo.gl/maps/GkEuB. Everyone is welcome. Bruce will be leading and he is on 07729 279 945

  You are again misinformed. The Highway Code is also clear about clothing. It is here. Section 59 Section 59 of the Highway Code explains the appropriate clothing cyclists should wear in order to make it easier for other road users to spot them and help to keep them protected in the case of a collision. Cyclist clothing: Helmet – Your cycle helmet should conform to the current regulations, be the correct size for your head and be securely fastened. Appropriate fitted clothing – Your clothing should be tight fitted to prevent it getting tangled in the chain or wheel of your bicycle. Light clothing – Light and fluorescent clothing will help you to stand out in daylight and poor light. Reflective accessories – Strips on the helmet, as well as armbands and ankle bands will help you be seen in the dark. and Section 60 This section of the Highway Code is all about cyclists’ lights and reflectors. At night cyclists must have their white front and red rear lights lit. Their bicycles must also be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors. White front reflectors and spoke reflectors can also increase your visibility to other road users. Flashing lights are permitted but cyclists riding in areas without street lighting should use a steady front lamp instead.

  I am aware. You didn’t read my post properly: I was pointing out that people can wear whatever clothes they feel comfortable in. And that a moped isn’t a bicycle.

  Earl A…… You are misinformed. There is a legal obligation for cyclists to have front and rear lights. Rule 60 of The Highway Code

  Angelina, I think you have identified a genuine issue and I have noted similar. If cycling, in its various forms, continues to grow then I think safety education will have to somehow be addressed.
