social cycle ride 9.30am Saturday March 17th


Recommended Posts

Early start and later finish. All welcome. All free.


This is one of the Plus + rides which starts at 9.30am in Burgess Park and finishes at 1pm in the same place. Being nearly twice as long as usual it gets a lot further. To Bishops Park, Fulham in fact. I read that as Bishops Park Durham first time but it's not as far as that.


The ride starts at Park Life Cafe, Chumleigh Gardens, off Albany Rd, SE5 0RJ. The organisers like cafes and try to include one or two. The outward route from Burgess Park goes via Battersea Park, Albert Bridge and Chelsea Harbour. There's a coffee stop in Bishops Park (I told you).


Then back via Putney Bridge, Wandsworth Park and Thames Path. This is a flat route on the Thames basin -- about 18 miles. Jane leading. The route is at https://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4698722.html


These rides are organised on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. You don't have to be a member of anything. You don't have to pay. There are no ID or address checks. Everyone welcome - whatever level of cyclist and whatever kind of bike. We are here: 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).

    • 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.
