The square is opposite Canada Water station which is on the Overground and has lifts which will take three bikes. There is flat access to the railway system at East Dulwich Station and the change to the Overground at Peckham Rye Station is across the platform.

If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


Easy, flat ride, lots of off road. Mostly following the Thames Path both out and back. Route includes Deptford Maritime waterside, Cutty Sark and the O2. We did part of this ride on Aug 15th but due to a puncture for the Ride Leader did not get all the way to the O2. This time we will make it! Route at



We will keep everyone as safe as possible by observing all the Covid Regulations. Most importantly we will be maintaining routinely a 2m social distance, never less than 1m. Particularly important to maintain social distancing from other users of the Thames Path. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users can maintain 1-2 m and feel safe. Just in case we need them, good idea to bring a face mask.

    • 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.
