social cycle ride Saturday May 18th starts 9.30am


Recommended Posts

This is one of the longer rides but still just as slow-paced and easy-going. It starts at 9.30am at the Cutty Sark near the entrance to the Greenwich foot tunnel and heads south to Danson Park, Bexley. It's a round trip so riders will be back at the Cutty Sark at 1pm having covered about 19 miles.


The route includes lots of cycle path and quiet streets, but there will be some moderately busy roads as well. A pic of the route map is attached. The group will go through Greenwich Park (where pushing will be allowed), and across Blackheath to Kidbrooke. There riders will pick up Quietway 1 and follow this past Well Hall Pleasaunce, along Rochester Way to Falconwood.


Then they leave Quietway 1 and continue parallel to Rochester Way pretty much to Danson Park. There will be a coffee stop at Old Stables and then back via Welling High St, then turning south to Plumstead High St and down to last section of the Ridgeway and through to Woolwich waterfront. Finish along Thames path back to Cutty Sark.


These rides are free and everyone is welcome. They are arranged by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf Southwark Cyclists who are the borough branchvof the London Cycling Campaign.

    • 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.
