This ride starts from Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ at 10am and ends in the same place two hours later -- cafes good beginning and end points for exercise. This does have some ups towards the end. it's the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths.


The plan is to head to Crystal Palace Park at the end but start by going down to Peckham Rye Park and then on to Catford and New Beckenham via National Route NR21. Back from there to Crystal Palace Park via the entrances at the bottom and do a circuit of the park including the dinosaurs pic attached). By then everyone will be at or close to the top of the hill and ready to cruise back down to Dulwich. I don't want to mention the word "steep" but there will be time to walk some sections. Amanda will be leading. The route is here:

    • 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.
