Recommended Posts

This is part of Southwark Cyclists series of regular Saturday morning rides. Most are two hours but this is one of the longer ones starting at 10am from Deal Porter Squ, opposite CW Station, SE16 7BB and riding to Battersea Park and back. Canada Water is on the Overground and the station has a good lift taking three bikes. The station is accessible from East Dulwich which has walk-on access and then across-the-platform change at Peckham Rye.


Philippa will be leading this easy-paced ride, 3.5 hours,which finishes at 1.30pm. There will be a coffee break at the Pear Tree Caf? in Battersea Park. Riders will go out along the Thames path route via Borough Market and Tate Modern to Blackfriars Bridge then Cycleway 3 to Westminster then back streets to Chelsea Bridge to cross back. They will be looping through new streets at the Power Station then into Battersea Park for a break. The return will be along Thames ? mostly road, some riverside path ? to National Theatre. From there Cycleway 1, quietish streets and Southwark Park to Canada Water. Probable route at https://goo.gl/eNvKSi or on attached GPX file (canada-water-to-battersea-2017-route.gpx).


Groups have ridden this route a few times, most recently June 15th 2019 (see report http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-june-july-2019.html). But this time the weather will be better. There is more information about the rides at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/


Because of coronavirus there is a cap on numbers and everyone must book via Eventbrite. The link is

here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/southwark-cyclists-healthy-ride-to-battersea-park-tickets-118964478959 There are 17 places. If you find you cannot go on the ride after registering, please CANCEL on Eventbrite so the place can be available for someone else. Please also do give a phone number as we have to be able to provide these if riders need to be Tracked and Traced. And finally please bring a face mask for the Cafe queue and in case it's needed for any other reason.


I think that's about it. If you have any queries you can text Bruce on 07729 279 945 or DM me here. Enjoy.

    • 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.
