Next Saturday we have just one Southwark Healthy Ride for the Bank Holiday weekend. 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. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place.



Peckham to Greenwich Festival via 7 Finest Views of S.E. London


Easy-paced 8 mile ride to be led by Jamie with, as the title says, great views. 10am start at Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre (SE15 5RY). Finish at Cutty Sark to allow those who wish to enjoy the Greenwich Festival in all its gastronomical and artistic splendour. Look out for the "We are watching" flag that will be flying on its 10 storey flag pole by the Royal Naval College (see https://wearewatching.org/). Route: Brockley / Hilly Fields / Brookmill Park / Blackheath / Greenwich Park Observatory / National Maritime museum /Cutty Sark. Mostly using quiet back roads or paths. The idea will be to spend a few minutes at each viewpoint. Not too sure about timing, but should be at Greenwich in well within 3 hours. Previously ridden 22 May 2021. Short report at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/healthy-ride-reports-2021/the-7-finest-views-of-se-london/

NOTE. There will be no led ride back. A suggested quiet return route to Peckham is on Google Maps at https://bit.ly/3AUs51B


We will keep everyone as safe as possible by observing all the Covid Regulations. Even with the relaxation of the rules it is still a good idea to routinely keep a 2m social distance, never less than 1m. Particularly important to maintain social distancing from other users on shared paths. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users can maintain 1-2 m and feel safe. Bring a face mask as will be needed on DLR and cable car and if you want to get refreshments at the caf? stop). Obviously please do not turn up to this event if you are displaying symptoms of Covid-19.


hese rides are arranged and led by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
