This is one of the longer Plus+ rides. It starts at 9.30am from the Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park (chumleigh gardens SE5 0RJ. It's called Commons, Parks and Windmills because that's what you get.


The plan is a loop starting in Burgess Park and then passing by or through Lambeth and Wandsworth parks starting with Myatts Fields. There will be a visit to Brixton Windmill and then on to Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common, Wandsworth Windmill, Tooting Bec Common and Brockwell Park. The route is a big circle ending up on the Surrey Canal Path back to Burgess Park.


The route with toilets and tricky bits specially marked is here:

It's free and everyone is welcome. Children must bring at least one adult.


This ride is organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. We are the Southwark branch of the London Cycling Campaign and we (and they) campaign for safer cycling in London.


Before the ride (on Weds November 14th to be exact) Southwark Cyclists are holding their AGM. Speaker will be Michael Barrett MBE who looks after traffic arrangements around larger building developments and jointly set up the Road Safety Patrols (rides around current sites sorting out problems) with Southwark Cyclists.


Time is 6.30, place 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (in Camberwell). More info at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/agm-and-monthly-meeting/. Note talk will be followed by AGM, including a short report on Healthy Rides. At some point there will be free food and drink. Everyone welcome.

    • 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.
