This is one of our regular two-hour easy-paced Saturday morning rides. It starts from Peckham Square which is the open space between the Pulse and Peckham Library at 10am.

Riders will head south to Ladywell Fields along London Cycle Network LCN 22. That is Up it cannot be denied but there will be a very good view. The route to get there goes alongside Peckham Rye Park, then Brockley Way, and Ewhurst Rd. It then turns north on National Route 21 to the curly bridge over the railway where most riders try the steep circular ascent. I can't do that myself but well done for trying.

Time for a brief stop at the cafe in Ladywell Fields then back via Ladywell Rd, Crofton Park, and Peckham Rye Park again (different paths). Return to Peckham Square at exactly 12 noon (or thereabouts).

Just turn up. Under 18s welcome with an adult. Everyone welcome. Ride organiser is Bruce Lynn on 07729 279 945. Book with him or just turn up. https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/peckham-healthy-ride-30/

  I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights.

  I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.

  The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence. Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
