sociable cycle ride Saturday October 27th

Recommended Posts

This is a circular ride to Look Mum No Hands, in Old Street in the City. Nine miles and flat all the time. It starts at 10am from Peckham Square which is the space between Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse (SE15 5JR). Returns at 12 more or less on the dot.


The aim is to go fairly slowly through mostly quiet streets and through parks to Look Mum No Hands, the original Cycle Cafe Bar and workshop in the City and a popular destination for a ride https://www.lookmumnohands.com/locations/old-street. They started in 2007 serving coffee, fixing bikes, and showing the Tour de France. They've seen the cycling population of London boom and cyclists always want coffee, cake and beer. Out of respect for this famous location the ride will stop for a coffee break.


This flat route includes Burgess Park, Southwark Bridge and a stop at Guildhall. The leader will be Philippa and the total distance covered will be 9 miles. The route is here:



These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists and we are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign, campaigning for 40 years for safer cycling in London. Getting there, I suppose.

    • 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.
