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

  No one is arguing that people should cycle without lights or reflectors. Obviously they should. It is also a legal requirement. But the colour of someone’s clothing? Is it ok to wear navy? What about green? What shade? At what point should we have ‘no reason for sympathy’ if they’re in a collision? I don’t want people to feel like they need special clothes just to walk or cycle. If you have lights and reflectors and you’re on well lit city streets, there is no reason why drivers shouldn’t be able to see you, assuming of course, that they're driving with due care and attention. But yes, if there are lots of people without lights, that should be addressed. I suspect in part, it's the change over in seasons and the fact that people are getting caught out by how early it's getting dark now (obviously no excuse).

  What a passionate thread this is. I have worked in cycling for years, am a cyclist, a driver, use public transport etc. Driving last night with my two young kids, who also cycle, we made the same observations. It was the kids who first asked me why are most cyclists wearing full black and no lights. We then played a game who can spot all the cyclists, and count those with lights and those without. This teaches them to look out for them but also not to put themselves in a position where we have to strain to find them.
