bike train to central London May 16th 7.45am


Recommended Posts

We are using QW1 (map attached). London's best and in some ways only (decent) quietway. It's Greenwich to Waterloo and passes within half a mile of Peckham with a quiet linking route. TfL don?t approve of signposting how to get to Quietways (don?t ask) so we can?t have any signs pointing the way. But you can come with us and we?ll show you.


The Bike Train leaves Nunhead station at 7.45am , and leaves the Peckham Rye station at 7.55am. Departures are from the bike stands behind McDonalds on the north side of the station. We all know where McDonalds is even if we don?t go there.


Then full steam to Quietway 1 and full steam to Blackfriars Bridge by 8.30am. From there protected lanes lead north towards Kings Cross, west towards Westminster and east towards Tower Bridge. The most dangerous bit of your ride will be Rye Lane.


Return rides arranged on request. The train is led by me and I?m 65. My pace is sedate. I haven?t outpaced anyone for a long time. It?s all free. There is no catch. It?s helpful if you text me to say you are coming: 07842 640 207 or email [email protected] for more info.


We are the Southwark branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns for safer, more enjoyable cycling in London. What could be better than that? Our website is 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.
