social cycle ride 10am Saturday August 4th


Recommended Posts

Ride leader Bruce Lynn has won prizes for this ride in search of butterflies. It's the usual two-hour, easy-paced ride starting and finishing at the Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ.


This will be its fourth year during Big Butterfly count week https://www.bigbutterflycount.org.


Riders visit many parks in Lambeth and Southwark counting butterflies as they go. Parks include Ruskin Park, Elim Open Space and Myatts Fields. It's a nice gentle 9 mile saunter. The route is here:



Bruce organises this series of Saturday morning rides on behalf of Southwark Cyclists which is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. Like everything we do it's free and everyone is welcome. Any queries, contact him on 07729 279 945. 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.
