Bike train to central London and beyond July 18th


Recommended Posts

The Bike Train is a guided ride from Peckham Rye and Nunhead Stations to central London. We use segregated cycle lanes, parks and backstreets to keep riders safe all the time. The ride leaves Nunhead at 7.45am, swings by Peckham Rye station at 7.55am and reaches the Thames at 8.30am. We don't go fast. I'm in front and kindly friends reckon I do 8mph (twice walking speed).


Quietway 1 is still the route of choice. London's best in fact arguably its only good Quietway. It's only ten minutes of green route and backstreet from Peckham town centre. Come with us and we'll show you how the most risk-averse can get to central London,?feathers fully unruffled.


QW1 crosses all the approach roads to the Thames bridges ? starting with Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge and finally Blackfriars. Riders can be taken to any one of them, take your pick and be taken on if you let us know in advance.


Any queries text me on 07842 640 207 or mail us on [email protected]. Everyone welcome. Return rides arranged on request. Most things arranged on request. Just ask. If this doesn't suit you but the idea of cycling to work does then think of trying our bike taxis which are a personalised, escorted ride to work.


All this stuff is organised by Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more, safer cycling in London. Everything we do is free and you don't have to join anything. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • 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.
