This is a Plus ride which starts 30mins earlier than usual and ends an hour later. It starts at 9.30am at the Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park and ends in the same place at 1pm. The Cafe is in Chumleigh Gardens at SE5 0RJ. Or you can think of it as next to the big playground just off Albany Road. Either way will find it. It's a good place to both start and finish with kids.


In between riders will take the usual easy-paced this time longer ride: destination, the Design Museum. Jane will be leading . The outward leg will go over Westminster Bridge and through Hyde Park. Naturally there will be a coffee stop at the Design Museum and the group will return through Brompton Cemetery, over Albert Bridge and through Battersea Park.


The route will take in some of the new building around Battersea Power Station. The route map is here: https://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4497331.html. The ride is free to join and everyone is welcome. You don't need to live anywhere or join anything to take part.

    • 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.
