Recommended Posts

On Feb 5th we will have 2 rides, one 3.5 hours and one 2.5 hours. 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 and also going on the Wait List can be successful. If you cannot make it, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling.


SE London Sights - Burgess Park to Cutty Sark


10am to 12.30. Start/finish Fuorvito Caf? (ex Park Life Caf?), Burgess Park, Chumleigh Gardens, SE5 0RJ. Simon S. leading. An easy-paced, pretty flat ride taking in some iconic sights of SE London: the Cutty Sark, the Thames Path, Greenland Dock and Stave Hill - not to mention Millwall FC's stadium (twice!). Nearly all on quiet cycleways. Coffee stop at the Cutty Sark. Fantastic views from Stave Hill. 12 miles. Route map:




Dulwich to Kensington Gardens 10am to 1.30pm. Start/finish Dulwich Clock Caf?, Dulwich Park. Usual mix of cycle lanes, quiet streets and short busy roads, suitable for most levels of cyclist. Some modest uphill stretches. Outward route via Brockwell Park, Brixton, the Oval, Vauxhall Bridge, Eaton Square and Hyde Park. Short coffee stop at Kensington Palace. Return route via Exhibition Rd, South Kensington, Albert Bridge, Battersea Park, Clapham Junction, Clapham Common, Brixton Mill and Brockwell Park. Lots to see on this ride. 16.5 miles. Route map:

    • 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).
    • Found it but cannot contact owner as no email or message on it. e*****@icloud.com   please let me know if you’ve recently lost an Apple Watch SE
    • 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.
