social cycle ride Saturday Jan 5th 10am


Recommended Posts

Happy New Year to everyone.


These peaceful, two-hour, easy paced rides will continue in 2019. The starting points change but the general pattern is that the first Saturday starts at 10am Dulwich, 2nd Saturday at 10am at Canada Water; and the 4th Saturday at Peckham Square. The third Saturday rides are so-called plus rides which start at 9.30am at varying places and end at 1pm. The Plus rides are longer so they can go further but they are still easy-paced and welcoming.


This is a first Saturday ride so it starts at 10am in Dulwich at the Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park (SE21 7BQ)and lasts two hours. The plan is to explore the Dulwich area covering about 10 miles on mostly quiet streets and paths. There are lots of points of interest including a working toll booth, one of UK's oldest football clubs, and even a castle!


Everyone welcome, whatever kind of bike or level of experience. These rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns for more safer and fun cycling in London.


These rides are intended to show how safe and fun cycling can be in our borough and beyond. The safe routes are suitable for commuting, shopping and getting kids out of the house. Cycling makes you happy, and keeps you healthy. Like everything we do it is free and for everyone, you don't need to join anything or live anywhere (though I hope you do).

    • FH is so much greener and IMO nicer than ED, sorry. Less commercialised.  The Great North Wood, Hornimans Gardens, Brenchley Gardens, One Tree Hill ) yep, some of that borders ED, so split between the two) 
    • Tesco sell pudding rice https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/254877391   And as for olive oil, my preference is the Spanish 2L cans in Sainsbury, it has a real nice peppery taste, not bland like the Italian one's I've tasted, but that's personal preference I suppose. 
    • It feels like a group who don't believe that private motoring should be discouraged and have no answers to the air quality problem, whereas the original Cleanairdulwich are campaigning to reduce pollution. Sadly we live in a world where if you are rich, you will generally live in nicer houses, have nicer environments and cleaner air.  That is capitalism for you, but I doubt whether there would be greater health equality in the former Soviet Union either.  Dulwich village was once full of industrialists and the like who didn't want to live in polluted central London where most would have made their money.  I will contact Cleanairdulwich and hopefully provide a better perspective.  Whether it is one individual or a whole community I support agree with what they are doing.  
    • ??? When they refer to "all Dulwich", I took that to mean including the residents of the streets where the traffic has been directed into due to the LTNs, which are presumably experiencing greater pollution/stress,  whereas the "privileged few" in the LTN areas are experiencing lower pollution due to less traffic. Hence the reference to inequality. Sorry if I've got the terminology wrong.
