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).

    • 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.
