Recommended Posts

This is part of our series of Saturday morning two-hour, easy-paced rides -- as flat and off-road as we can make them. They are suitable for children (with accompanying adult) and complete beginners. These rides are a good way to learn safe routes around Southwark and the neighbouring boroughs.


This ride starts in Peckham Square at 10am and ends at 12 noon in the same place. The Square is the spot between Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre. If you work on post codes then SE15 5JR should find it. A picture of the Arch is attached. Saturday is forecast to be positively spring-like with a high of 14C though all these things can change.


The route is a loop south and west to include as many parks as possible, plus Herne Hill Velodrome. Starting in Peckham Sq it carries on to Peckham Rye Park, then Dulwich Park (unavoidable slope, long but not steep) Herne Hill Velodrome, then Brockwell Park, Ruskin Park, Warwick Gardens (by now we are coming back downhill, to Peckham Square. Map at http://goo.gl/maps/hFFNL. Lots to see and the Velodrome is always fascinating.


These rides are run by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. Like everything we do they are free and open to all. If anyone tries to tell you that they are not free or are Southwark-only, smile calmly and back away. For further info text Bruce on 07729 279 945, email [email protected] (slow method) or just turn up.

    • 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.
