On Jan 15th we will have 2 short rides. 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.


Ride details


Parks, Cemeteries and a Museum - Peckham to Horniman Museum.


Simon S. leading. About 10 miles. Start 10am in Peckham Square, next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre (SE15 5RY). Finish around 12.30. SE loop to Horniman Museum and back. Outward from Peckham Square via Nunhead Cemetery, Peckham Rye Park and Camberwell Old Cemetery. Probable coffee stop at the Horniman Museum then back via Camberwell New Cemetery, Brockley, Ladywell Cemetery, and Hilly Fields. Easy-paced ride with a few ups and downs, but nothing serious.

    • 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. 
    • On the plus side showers are warm down - for now 😆
