Recommended Posts

One ride with registration on Eventbrite as usual. When you register on Eventbrite, (link details below), please give a phone number as it may be needed for Track and Trace.

Butterfly Ride

10.00 am to 12.30 pm. Start/finish Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY. 9 mile loop through parks and open spaces where hopefully we will see some butterflies. Ride coincides with the Big Butterfly Count. We will not be counting, but will visit good places to count if you are inspired to return. Main sites to be visited: Peckham Rye Park (wildflower meadows), Ruskin Park (Nature Reserve), Myatts Fields (wild area), Burgess Park (wild flower bank). Easy ride with plenty of time allowed for hunting for butterflies. Fingers crossed this good weather continues. Route at http://goo.gl/v14knG . More information about the Big Butterfly Count at http://www.bigbutterflycount.org/. Report from July 22 nd 2017 ride at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-june-july-2017.html.

    • 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.
