social cycle ride April 1st starting Dulwich Park


Recommended Posts

Dulwich Park to Clapham Common


For some reason Bruce thinks this route avoids any big hills because it starts from Dulwich Park. There are hills bigger than Dulwich Park I appreciate but it's a fair pull to get up there from Lordship Lane and environs.


Be that as it may, this week's social ride starts 10am from the Pavilion Cafe in Dulwich Park. The cafe looks as though it's a building site but I'm told it is in fact open for coffees and the loo. The ride ends in the same place at 12 noon.


Bruce sees it as a chance for people in the south of the borough to flex their quads and head out on a healthy ride. In fact first of a series as he plans to do a Dulwich ride on the first Saturday in the month through the Spring and Summer. "Get you southerners fit!!!" he says. Well that's a point of view.


There's an easy ride out to Clapham avoiding any big hills. The route goes via Herne Hill Velodrome, Brockwell Park and Brixton Windmill. Brief stop at Cafe near Bandstand in Clapham. The return route is a variation via Brockwell Park and Bel Air Park. Route at https://goo.gl/gcbI5s


Bruce's phone no is 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
