This is a two-hour ride starting from Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse, SE15 5JR) at 10am and returning to the same place at 12 noon. The forecast is good -- cool, thin cloud, and not much wind.


Outward route to Blackheath goes via Brookmill Park but mirabile dictu a new, less steep, route up to Blackheath and Greenwich Park has been found. Even pushing up the previous route was a slog. The return is along Quietway 1 turning south at Bridgehouse Meadows and then via Brimmington Park.


All in all about 9 miles. I couldn't say it's all flat but most of it is. The route is at https://goo.gl/itW2R4


This ride is organised by southwark cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer cycling in London. Most of us are members but you don't have to be. Most of us live in Southwark but you don't have to. It's all free and as welcoming as we can make it

    • 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).

    • 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.
