social cycle ride 10am Saturday Jan 28th

[Sally Eva]

This is one of our regular weekly Saturday morning rides lasting two hours. They start 10am and finish at 12 noon on the dot in the same place. They are called Healthy Rides on the principle that they make you healthy but I call them social cycle rides because they are friendly and most people chat as they go.

They are all easy-paced and use backstreets, parks and traffic-calmed by-ways. This one starts 10am from Peckham Square which is in front of Peckham Library and beside the Pulse at the north end of Rye Lane SE15 5JR.

It's a there and back ride to a bike cafe called Look Mum No Hands. There's some argument over whether it was the capital's first cycle cafe but no argument that it's one of the best. The route crosses Burgess Park, follows the Walworth Green Link, and then takes back streets to CS7 and Southwark Bridge.

Southwark Bridge has a very safe river crossing and very good cycle-friendly access to the City which is quiet at the weekends. Riders will go past the Barbican, to Old Street for a coffee break in the warm, then back the same way. Total 10 miles, route at

Amanda leading.

Everyone welcome. All free and friendly. Just turn up. The weather forecast suggests the temperature might rise to 8 by Saturday. Lucky us.
