sociable cycle ride Dulwich Park to Clapham Common Sat Oct 5th

Recommended Posts

This two-hour, slow-paced circular ride starts at 10am in Dulwich Park at the Dulwich Clock Cafe (SE21 7BQ). The route is easy and quiet avoiding any big hills. Outwards riders will go via Herne Hill Velodrome, Brockwell Park and Brixton Windmill to Clapham Common


On Clapham Common, everyone will do a bit of a circuit and there will be a brief stop at Cafe near Bandstand. The retun route goes via a different bit of Brockwell Park and then Belair Park. These regular Saturday rides are suitable for all types of rider and all types of bike (well maybe not racing cyclists - they could stop at the Velodrome).


The rides are organised by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists which is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns for safer cycling in London and we can all agree with that. Like everything we do, Bruce's rides are free and everyone is welcome. You don't need to join anything, pay anything or live in Southwark. You don't need to book, just turn up. If you want more information about Southwark Cyclists then email [email protected] or tweet @southwarkcycle. For more info on the rides text Bruce on 07729 279 945

    • 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.
    • Found it but cannot contact owner as no email or message on it. e*****@icloud.com   please let me know if you’ve recently lost an Apple Watch SE
    • 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. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
