social cycle ride 10am Saturday May 6th


Recommended Posts

We are doing the Dulwich to Crystal Palace Loop, starting and finishing at the Pavilion Cafe in the middle of Dulwich Park.


It's the usual gentle ride but a bit shorter than usual because there are a few hills :). The route goes outwards via the Horniman Museum where there will be a brief stop and then through Sydenham Wells Park and into Crystal Palace Park through the small gate off Crystal Palace Park Road.


Next down to the lake to admire the dinosaurs and then up through the park and along the terraces (great views to south), eventually arriving at Crystal Palace Parade. Downhill all the way via Farquhar Rd, past Kingsdale School and on to Bel Air Park. Quick circuit of Bel Air then back to Dulwich Park.


The route is here https://goo.gl/z4Wft7. We last did this route in August 2016, and there's a report here: http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-aug-sept-2016.html. Ride reports, photos and routes from earlier this year are posted at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-april-may-2017.html so if you can't come on Saturdays but would like to try them all the info is there. There are several photos from the last ride to Cody Dock


All our rides and others across London are advertised on the London Cycling Campaign website here: http://lcc.org.uk/events and Southwark Cyclists is their borough group https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • Dunstans Road  comes under Dulwich Hill SNT- you can get their details on the Met Police website . I know that the Police are often patrolling Dawson Hights. Please contact them,
    • 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).
    • Found it but cannot contact owner as no email or message on it. e*****@icloud.com   please let me know if you’ve recently lost an Apple Watch SE
    • 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.
