social cycle rides Sat Dec 23rd and Boxing Day

Saturday's ride starts in Peckham Square and ventures up town to Look Mum No Hands -- the cyclists' favourite cafe on Old Street. Starts at 10am from Peckham Square (by Peckham Library, SE15 5JR)and returns two hours later.


Amanda will be leading and the route probably as last time at

It will be usual easy-paced ride with time for a coffee at LMNH. This is the last Saturday Ride in 2017, so come and join us for a seasonable ride. Decorated bikes welcome! Christmas lights, Santa hats -- decorate yourself too.


By Boxing Day the whole staying-in-and-watching-the-TV-in-the-warm thing starts to wear off so try our December 26th special. It's led by Werner starting 10am from Canada Water Library, opposite CW Station, SE16 7AR


All details await finalisation. Come to Canada Water and take a gentle, 2 hour ride somewhere or other. Burn off a few of yesterday?s calories and build up an appetite for Boxing Day lunch. Everyone welcome.


Please note no ride on Dec 30th. After these 2 rides, we will be into 2018 with the first Saturday ride at Dulwich on January 6th. Seasons Greetings to all our riders and looking forward to seeing you on one of these 2 rides and in 2018.

I've been told that Look Mum No Hands closes on Friday and re-opens in the new year so there will be no coffee-drinking there on this ride.


So they are going to Rapha Cafe in Spitalsfield instead. Rapha do upmarket cycling kit and have a "serious" club and sponsor 2 racing teams. There will be time for a coffee and a bit of a look round.


Amanda still leading and will use some of the route to LMNH. Those who have been to LMNH will be intrigued by the very different cultures in the 2 cafes. Ride length and start/finish location and times all unchanged. So still Peckham Square, 10-12.

    • 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?
    • 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. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
