> In 2022 let?s resolve to get plenty of exercise, especially cycling. To get going here is our first ride for 2022 starting from Peckham at 10am on New Year?s Day itself. Registration on Eventbrite as usual. Note if all places are already booked it is worth checking back as there are occasional cancellations during the week. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.

> 10am to approx. 12.30. Start/finish Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). With Jean and John leading route will head up to Peckham Rye and via LCN 22 to Ladywell Fields. Join lovely traffic-free Waterlink Way (National Route 21) and follow Ravensbourne and Pool Rivers to New Beckenham and on to Beckenham Place Park. Return by different route that starts with quiet streets followed by a very short stretch of busy road at Catford where we rejoin the outward route at Ladywell Fields. Then follow outward route back to Peckham. Will take a break at the park and view the Mansion and perhaps stroll down to the swimming lake, possibly get a coffee if any of the cafes are open. About 14 miles. Route map at

All the places on this ride were taken within a couple of hours. Ride organiser Bruce Lynn will lead a second ride to open up more spaces. This means that we can meet and chat at the beginning and end of the ride. The two groups will set off 5-10 apart.

If you tried to sign up before but couldn't, please try again.

    • 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.
