free family cycle training Saturday March 9th 12.30-4.30


Recommended Posts

Take the kids or go by yourself. This is a free drop-in four-hour session. It's being run by Cycle Confident and funded by Southwark Council. You don?t have to book or stay for it all. The flyer contains all known details because I can't find any more on the web. If you have still got questions then telephone 0203 031 6730 and ask.

I can't attach the flyer because it's too big but it's attached here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/events/free-family-cycling-taster-session/


However I have established that although the flyer says ?Please bring your bikes and helmets? that?s not precisely right. No one needs a helmet as long as their parents agree that a child need not wear one and presumably the parents can decide for themselves. The bit about bikes is right.


The meeting point is at the Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park (SE21 7BQ). No need to book. Cycle Confident reckon the session is for everyone from complete beginners to old hands who want to ?build their skills? aka learn a bit more. So everyone can learn.


If this date and time aren't convenient for you, Cycle Confident do free Family Group cycle training as part of their contract with Southwark and they can tailor what they teach to what your family needs. Full info here: https://www.cycleconfident.com/courses/family/

    • 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.
