Even at the last minute it is worth cancelling (How to cancel )


Ride Info. Canada Water to North Greenwich Loop


Start/finish at Canada Water, 10am meet up, finish 12.30 to 1pm. Can also join ride at Cutty Sark, next to Foot Tunnel; be there by 10.20. Bruce Leading.


We are going to ride the route from 11 Feb in reverse. Outward leg will use the new segregated lanes along the A200/A206. So not very scenic, but a good route to learn.


Return will use the Thames path, so lots of see round the N Greenwich peninsula to the O2 and through Greenwich and Deptford. Coffee stop probably at the O2 on return leg.


This ride is nearly all off road or on segregated lanes. Also no hills. Makes it a good ride even for relatively inexperienced cyclists. Route map at

    • You are again misinformed. The Highway Code is also clear about clothing.   It is here. Section 59 Section 59 of the Highway Code explains the appropriate clothing cyclists should wear in order to make it easier for other road users to spot them and help to keep them protected in the case of a collision. Cyclist clothing: Helmet – Your cycle helmet should conform to the current regulations, be the correct size for your head and be securely fastened. Appropriate fitted clothing – Your clothing should be tight fitted to prevent it getting tangled in the chain or wheel of your bicycle. Light clothing – Light and fluorescent clothing will help you to stand out in daylight and poor light. Reflective accessories – Strips on the helmet, as well as armbands and ankle bands will help you be seen in the dark. and  Section 60 This section of the Highway Code is all about cyclists’ lights and reflectors. At night cyclists must have their white front and red rear lights lit. Their bicycles must also be fitted with a red rear reflector and amber pedal reflectors. White front reflectors and spoke reflectors can also increase your visibility to other road users. Flashing lights are permitted but cyclists riding in areas without street lighting should use a steady front lamp instead.    
    • I am aware. You didn’t read my post properly: I was pointing out that people can wear whatever clothes they feel comfortable in. And that a moped isn’t a bicycle.
    • Earl A…… You are misinformed. There is a legal obligation for cyclists to have front and rear lights. Rule 60 of The Highway Code
