Led bike ride from Dulwich to Bike Picnic in Greenwich


Recommended Posts

PICNIC 2023 

The annual picnic will be in Greenwich Park on Saturday 12th August.  As in previous years, this is being organised in collaboration with Harry Clark's Bexley Let's Go group. We have again invited riders from other groups including Lewisham Cyclists and Greenwich Cyclists. We would welcome any cyclists who are interested in social rides - you do not have to be a regular Healthy Rider.  And family members, children etc are not just allowed but encouraged. 

Arrangements. Get to the Bandstand in Greenwich Park for around 12 noon. Note the Bandstand is fairly central, on the right along the wide path running east from the Pavilion Cafe, Lat-Long 51°28'35.2 N 0°00'11.1 E.  Bring food and drink. There will be some organised (sort of) activities - the slow race is always a crowd pleaser. Harry has also arranged for the Met Police Bike Marking team to be there, so an opportunity to make your bike more secure. 

Getting there. Make your own way. Or join the led ride. Meet at 10.30 at the Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park, or 10.50 in Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre) or 11.20 in Deal Porter Square (Canada Water Library). No registration. Just turn up. Route for led ride: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1JQCZhDyDe7MC9ouKvAv_4tRk56SYa5Th&usp=sharing 

These events are organised by Southwark Cyclists and are part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at

    • 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.
