two free social cycle rides starting Dulwich Park Sat June 5th


Recommended Posts

This week we have two Southwark Healthy Rides, 13 places each, with registration on Eventbrite as usual. Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as there are usually several cancellations during the week. Both rides are longer than usual, one from Dulwich and the other from Canada water.


You must register on Eventbrite, details below. Please give a phone number when registering as it may be needed for Track and Trace. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


Dulwich to Brunel Tunnel Open Weekend


The Brunel Tunnel Museum are having a Community Open Weekend (https://www.thebrunelmuseum.com/events/community-open-weekend/) with free entry on the 5th and 6th. Ride will start from Dulwich Park (Dulwich Clock Caf? in middle of park) at 10am.Ride will call at Peckham Square (by Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure centre) at 10.25. You can start from Peckham, but please indicate on the registration form that you are going to do this. Route will use mostly quiet streets and paths with some shortish busy stretches.


Should arrive at the Tunnel about 11am. There will be a led ride back to Peckham and Dulwich at approx. 11.40, hopefully getting back to Dulwich about 12.30. People are welcome to stay longer at the tunnel, but will need to get themselves home. Bruce leading.

Philippa leading. 15 miles, 10 ? 1.30. Start/finish Deal Porter Squ, opposite Canada Water station, SE16 7AR. Outward Thames path, Westminster Bridge, Pimlico, Chelsea Bridge, Battersea Park. Back southside, Waterloo/Southbank and whatever Q1 is called now (Cycleway 10). Take a look at new developments around Battersea Power station. Coffee stop either in Battersea Park or by the Power Station. Route from 2017 - but note there are a few changes this year that are not shown:

    • 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.
