Bike Train to central London March 21st


Recommended Posts

this is our regular, monthly, led ride for commuters heading for central London. It's all free. We will be using Quietway 1 -- London's best quietway -- and the protected cycle lanes on Blackfriars Road and Bridge.


We start from Nunhead Station at 7.45am and Peckham Rye station at 7.55am. The stop at Peckham Rye is at the bike stands behind McDonalds. Arrival time on the bridge is 8.30am and (with a bit of warning) we can take you on from there. We travel rather slowly so no one should worry about being left behind. Any queries to me on 07842 640 207.


I should also mention our Bike Taxis for people who don't find Wednesdays convenient or want to go somewhere else entirely. These (also free) are customised just for you. They take a bit more arranging but you get a Bike Buddy to take you to your work doorstep at a time and date convenient to you. Queries to the number above or email [email protected]


We means Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC works for safe, fun cycling in London. Everything we do is free and anyone can do it with us. You don't have to join LCC or live in Southwark. 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.
