sociable cycle rides and picnic June 10th


Recommended Posts

Reminder. There are reports on rides on the Southwark Cyclists web site. Usually photos and a route map. Map allows you – or anyone – to try the ride themselves. 

Jun 10th, 12.30 at Southwark Park Bandstand we are holding a Southwark Cyclists Picnic to celebrate BIKE WEEK. There will be a few slightly competitive cycling games suitable for all ages. The contest to be the slowest cyclist is always close.  Everyone is invited including non-cycling friends and family.  Note this is not the same as our other picnic which is held jointly with Lets Go (Bexley), Greenwich Cyclists and other groups that do social rides (provisionally set for August 12th in Greenwich Park). 

We will have one ride on Saturday starting in Dulwich and ending at the picnic. Please register for this on Eventbrite so we have some idea of numbers, link: < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-southwark-park-picnic-ride-tickets-650236674397 >

    • Help us mark a decade of local journalism and ensure the next ten years of The Dulwich Diverter! To pledge, please go to: tiny.cc/dd10 Since 2016, The Dulwich Diverter has been telling the stories that matter in East Dulwich, West Dulwich, Dulwich Village and the surrounding neighbourhoods.  Stories about the independent traders, the everyday heroes, the corners of SE22 that wouldn't normally make the front page. In early 2026 we hope to reach our 10‑year anniversary.    Why this campaign matters: Free, local journalism in print is under pressure. The voices and stories of our community deserve an ongoing platform and your support will help ensure that platform remains vibrant, independent, and thriving. What we’ll do with your support: With your pledge today you will help us to keep going for the next few years, produce a special 10‑year anniversary print edition and host an event to celebrate 10 years of the newspaper. A bit more information about us: Through reading our newspapers, people have become involved with local charities and good causes they may otherwise never have known about. We rely solely on advertising sales to keep us in print. However, this year has been a somewhat bumpy ride for many local businesses who have been regular supporters of the paper hence us needing to crowdfund. All revenue raised helps us pay our contributors and fund the professional journalism and high quality photography, illustration and design that are the hallmarks of the titles we produce. The more money we have, the more stories we can publish and every single page of advertising is thoughtfully matched with a page of high quality and engaging editorial  (“all killer, no filler” to quote one reader), which increases reader “dwell time” and ensures that people linger on each spread for longer. We personally hand deliver every single copy of the newspaper and we have a diverse range of stockists to ensure we reach the whole of the community, not just one part of it.  You can find us in all sorts of places, from laundrettes, libraries and hair salons to shops, pubs and cafes. We believe local publications should truly reflect the areas they cover and we strive to represent the incredible diversity of south-east London on our pages.  We invest a huge amount of time and effort in seeking out stories that no one else has written about and sharing them with our readers. We aim to appeal to everyone in the area; those who have lived here their whole lives and those who have just arrived. We have readers of all ages – from 9 to 99!
    • I'm not missing the point, I don't agree that people must wear special clothes when walking or cycling. There is no law on this and despite the highway code suggesting clothing that cyclists and pedestrians might consider wearing after dark, I doubt you wear a reflective sash when walking in the evening. It's also a fact that a bicycle and a moped are different things. It's not unreasonable to point out where someone conflates the two. What is 'disagreeable', is Penguin68 suggesting that we should have no sympathy for someone hit by a careless driver, if they weren't wearing particular clothes that he deems appropriate. People should obviously have lights on their bikes when travelling after dark.
    • Hello, I am looking for some lego minifigures for my son's birthday. If you are getting rid of any, please let me know. Thank you! Jo 07950 083 258
    • you're missing the point and come across as just being disagreeable.   I'm therefore just going to close this - as it;'s not a debate or an argument   DRIVERS  - please pay extra care as there are cyclists who are very low visibility and without lights or suitable clothing CYCLISTS - Put lights on your bike - front and back - and reflective strips at the very least. Consider other road users and pedestrians.  EVERYONE - Be safe
