This is the Riverside loop -- a circular ride along both sides of the Thames. Guaranteed completely flat.


The ride starts and finishes in Deal Porter Square, which is next to Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station, SE16 7AR. Canada Water Station is on the Overground and has a lift which will take 3 bikes at once. East Dulwich station has step-free access and the change at Peckham Rye is across the platform -- Peckham Rye Station does not have a lift.


The ride will be the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. From CW station it will go east along Deptford riverside to the Cutty Sark in Greenwich. Then through the foot tunnel, around the west side of Isle of Dogs, through Wapping and back over Tower Bridge. The return along the south bank follows Nat Route 4 through Bermondsey and Rotherhithe back to Canada Water.


David will be leading. The route is here at

Everyone welcome. Under 18s should bring a long-suffering adult. It's all free.

    • 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.
