sociable cycle ride Sat April 21st 9.30am start


Recommended Posts

This is one of the longer weekly rides -- it starts earlier and finishes later at about 1pm in order to go further in between. This Saturday's ride begins and ends at the Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park which is at the entrance off the Albany Road (SE5 0RJ) It goes to to Bishops Park, in Fulham and back.


Some of the details are still being worked out but it looks as though the outward route from Burgess Park will be via Battersea Park, Albert Bridge and Chelsea Harbour. The all-important coffee/loo stop will be in Bishops Park. Then back via Putney Bridge, Wandsworth Park and Thames Path.


This will be a nice flat route, about 18 miles. Jane is leading. and the route is here: https://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4698722.html


This series of rides is organised and lot of them are led by Bruce Lynn on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. I'm carefully getting the spelling of "led" right this week. Last week I put "lead" to universal, unkind derision. I am pretending it was the spell-checker.


Southwark cyclists is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more safer cycling in London. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk and we do loads of other stuff. Contact us on [email protected] if you want or just turn up.

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
