sociable cycle ride Easter Saturday -- early start


Recommended Posts

This is one of the Plus rides which start at 9.30am and finish at 1pm. The aim is to go further and explore more of London's safe backstreets and parks.


It starts and finishes Park Life Cafe, Burgess Park, Chumleigh Gdns, off Albany Rd, SE5 0RJ. This is the one by the children's playground. It's the usual template easy and quiet route of about 16 miles. The plan is to ride up to central London and tour points of interest and the new cycling infrastructure.


Precise route still being worked on, Werner's the ride leader and he will be finalising it on Friday.... I will try and post more details here (if and when I get them).


These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which is a membership run charity which campaigns for safer, fun cycling in London. Everything we do is free. Anyone may join in. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. I think that is the only rule.

    • I'm interested to know other people's experiences. As in any urban environment, I'm careful. I try not to use my phone outside  unnecessarily, and if I'm coming home by myself  late at night I also keep an eye out for any potential threats. But that doesn't mean  I "don't feel safe". It's just sensible. The only time I have ever felt seriously unsafe in London was decades ago  when I was a teenager, and that was one specific incident which could have happened anywhere. I do however try to avoid places with loads of right wing thugs getting drunk and waving flags.
    • I'm genuinely sorry if I have derailed this thread, which started off as being about a specific burglary in Lacon Road. I will start another thread in the lounge, because I think the general points being discussed are important.
    • Thanks very much for that.   I think the better informed we are, the better our discussions will be. The article contained: "That arrest had quite an impact on the [phone theft] numbers for the following month,” said Green.  Here's another indicator, admittedly a piece of police PR,  of how well-targeted police efforts, mostly invisible to us,  can when successful  seriously affect offending figures: https://news.met.police.uk/news/met-police-drive-down-theft-and-robbery-by-84-percent-in-battersea-and-nine-elms-500495.
