sociable cycle ride Saturday June 2nd


Recommended Posts

This two-hour, easy-paced ride, using mostly quiet streets and paths, starts at 10am at Dulwich Clock Cafe in the middle of Dulwich Park, SE21 7BQ, and finishes at 12 noon in the same place.


There are some short stretches of busier road and also some hills, but the hills are short, and there is time built in to push your bike up these. allow time to walk these.


The route leads from Dulwich Park up to Horniman Museum, then over the hill to Sydenham Station and on to Cator Park where it joins National Route 21, aka the Waterlink Way, and follows this nearly to Catford. The Waterlink Way is lovely, miles of some of the nicest off-road path in south London, and should be in everyone's cycling repertoire. It's a little known gem. The ride comes back on quiet streets to Honor Oak then up and over the hill to return to Dulwich Park.


The route map is at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1X0v0PkV-RBf_5B-_-psG95-6V2I&ll=51.43914910000002%2C-0.053386700000089604&z=13. It looks very complicated to me but that's for the ride leaders to worry about.

    • 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.
