July 29th Ride details 

Canada Water to St James Park < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-st-james-park-tickets-684718911697>   

Our sightseeing ride, led by Tour Guide Simon K! Start time 10am. Start/finish next to Decathlon Store, London SE16 7FU, beside Canada Water and near the station. Note again change in meeting point as Saturday Market makes Deal Porter Square congested. You can also join the ride at London Bridge; be at the Southwark Gateway Needle, south east side of bridge, at 10.20. Easy, 10 mile, 2.5 hour, flat ride from Decathlon. Route goes across London Bridge, along Embankment (Cycleway 3) and passes Houses of Parliament, St James Park and Buckingham Palace.  Return starts across Westminster Bridge then keeps to the south side of the river, along Lower Marsh, then mostly Cycleway14 - Union Street, Leathermarket St, Tanner St, Dockhead, ending with Thames path route back to CW. Although we are on some busy roads, most have a cycle lane or bus lane. Coffee stop in Dockhead. Please indicate when registering if you intend to join at London Bridge.

    • 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.
