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.

    • 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.
