New dad looking for cycling buddies


Asylumite

Recommended Posts

I'm a new dad to a 4 month old, so have not found much time for cycling in the past few months and I'm looking to get back into it. I'm not yet ready to jump back in with a club as I'm trying to get my fitness back, but keen to start up a social ride on a weekend morning with other newbie parents or keen cyclists.


Expect an average speed of 15mph, until we hit hills :-)


Is there any interest out there?

Southwark Cyclists do peaceful off streets rides of about 10 miles most Saturdays. Lewisham Cyclists go further and Lambeth Cyclists do intelligent rides about history and architecture which might not be right for someone seeking a break from life with a four-month-old. Dulwich Paragon also though I don't know much about them.

    • A detailed account of Nigel Farage's alleged racist and neofascist behaviour while he attended Dulwich College appears in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2025/nov/18/deeply-shocking-nigel-farage-faces-fresh-claims-of-racism-and-antisemitism-at-school Obviously for most the relevant question is if these allegations are true, then is Farage a suitable person for public office? But for Dulwich local yokels (and tbh anyone that's already formed a firm opinion about Farage), the more interesting question might be whether Dulwich College incubated and tolerated pupils' racist and bigoted behaviour at the time? After all, the allegations include that NF and a number of other boys sang songs about gassing Jews and engaged in other bigoted behaviour, that teachers were either present or aware of that behaviour, and that nothing was done. It's remarkable that pieces of the reporting abour 40 years ago mirror some of the allegations about Dulwich College's reaction to some pupils' alleged sexist and predatory behaviour 4 years ago. Minimisation, dismissal, wilful blindness... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/i-warned-head-of-dulwich-college-about-abusive-boys-five-years-ago-xkxgjftk8 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
