commuter bike ride to central London Oct 17th

Recommended Posts

We will be using Quietway 1 to reach the Thames and then on to the chosen destination. Quietway 1 is a gem which comes within 10 mins very safe cycle of Rye Lane. It's well signposted when you're on it and completely unsignposted before you get there. It's due to have its own approach via Quietway 9 but QW9 is taking a long (long) time to get built.


Let us show you the way. We set off at 7.45am from Nunhead station, swing by Peckham Rye (meeting at the bike stands behind McDonalds) and then head up glorious Surrey Canal Path. 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 we can take you on if you let us know in advance. We get to the river around 8.30am


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. If the Bike Train doesn?t suit you, ask about our Bike Taxis ? your free personal escort to work. Our website and more info 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? How many tone variations in their clothing before it’s ok to claim they’re ‘invisible’?
    • Found it but cannot contact owner as no email or message on it. e*****@icloud.com   please let me know if you’ve recently lost an Apple Watch SE
    • 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. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
