Cycle route to Marathon preparations Sat April 27th 10am


Recommended Posts

Not Marathon in Greece but THE Marathon this Sunday. This ride will look at how London is getting ready. Not getting in the way.


It starts in Peckham Square which is between Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR. The most obvious landmark is probably the Arch and picture is attached. The ride starts at 10am and finishes two hours later in the same place. Riders will be making their way over to the starting line of the Marathon (not the start which is on Sunday) and there's an alternative meeting place at St Mary's Gate into Greenwich Park at the end of King William Walk at around 10.35am.


This is the usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. This London Marathon-themed ride will be lead by Simon (veteran of many London marathons) who will talk about about this famous event. The route isn't finalised yet but provisionally it will be

    • 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.
