I know we are all thinking so hard about Christmas Day that it's difficult to think about the world afterwards. However for all those who think that it might be nice to get out of the living room and into the fresh air (and especially nice to take the kids away from their electronics) here is a Boxing Day ride.


It's part of the series of Saturday rides though of course not on a Saturday. So it is two hours long, easy paced, open to all, no need to book and free for everyone. It starts from Canada Water at 10am. East Dulwich station has easy access by bike and there are lifts at Canada Water which will take 3 full-size bikes at a time.


It will be led by Werner and head into town to look at Sculptures in the City and enjoy the empty City streets. Info on Sculpture in the City is here: https://www.sculptureinthecity.org.uk. Among the highlights is a Tracy Emin near the Gherkin and a picture is attached.


No need to book. Just turn up. These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for safer cycling in London. They are open to everyone. You don't need to be a member of the group, or the LCC or to live in Southwark.

    • 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.
