Next Healthy Ride

April 8th, 10am to 12 noon.

this one starts from Canada Water which is on the Overground. According to the TfL journey planner the Overground to Canada Water is running this weekend, or at any rate on Saturday. There's a lift at Canada Water Station but not at Peckham Rye. There's a lift at Queens Road -- check whether it's working before you travel.

Right that's the difficult bit out of the way. This ride starts from outside Canada Water Library at 10am. The library is a lovely building with a coffee shop. The route goes to the London Eye along the South Bank and returns for 12noon.

The first bit from Canada Water to the London Eye goes via National Cycle Route 4. It will loop back through Waterloo Station to the Cut and Union Street (where work on Quietway 14 has started) then around to Abbey Street, across Jamaica Road and back on to NR 4.

There are just a few points of interest on the way: a new harbour is being constructed at Chambers Wharf, plus Borough Market, and the new extension at Tate Modern. 10 miles of easy flat riding, much using off-road paths.

Philippa will be leading. I usually have a little map of the route but today I don't. Bruce's phone no is still 07729 279 945.

  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.
