free sociable cycle ride May 25th (and London Freecycle May 26th)


Recommended Posts

Bit of an unusual weekend coming up.  It’s a bank holiday. And it is Freecycle weekend when, on Sunday 26th, a large loop of central London roads will be closed to motor traffic. This is a great event and especially suitable for families with younger children. Southwark Cyclists will be running a feeder ride starting in Peckham Rye Park at 10am. Ride is fully marshalled to ensure safety. Details at https://lcc.org.uk/events/freecycle-southwark-feeder-ride/,  Details of whole Event at https://www.ridelondon.co.uk/our-rides/ridelondon-freecycle.
 
On the 25th May we have just 1 ride planned, details below.  NOTE. Please register on Eventbrite so we can limit numbers, link below.
 
Ride round all the big tourist spots with Jamie leading.  Start/finish Southwark Needle, south side of London Bridge close to London Bridge Station. Start 10am for an estimated 3 hour ride. Route west along south side of river then over Westminster Bridge down Birdcage Walk up Constitution Hill across Wellington Arch into Hyde Park and along to Kensington Palace for coffee break.
Return up Hyde Park West Carriage Drive, along Serpentine and up to Speakers Corner.  Then back down to Wellington Arch and on to Buckingham Palace, down The Mall, through Horse Guards and across Parliament Sq to the Embankment. Left onto the cycle lane (CS3) along The Embankment with finish past Monument and over London Bridge.  Flat ride with lots of path and cycle lane suitable for any level of cyclist. 
 
 Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.  Same for “adults at risk”. 
Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe (note there is a lot of shared path on this ride). If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. How to cancel link: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/help/en-gb/articles/575010/how-to-cancel-your-free-registration/
Note. Ride reports, often with photos and route maps, are posted to the Southwark Cyclists web site, yearly index at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/
This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/

    • Thanks for posting DKH and very much agree with your views Penguin, whilst you have a good point, you, and others, whenever you use terms like scum, or in this case scrote, it comes over all reactionary and dilutes your point. That's not diminishing that all crimes against the person are wrong, but I want a world where we all get on rather than go down the populist approach of demonsing groups of people in our community.
    • Last night, early evening, there were about five police vans with their lights on blocking  Oglander Road and Oxenford Street.  Does anyone know what was going on?  Maybe I should post this somewhere else.
    • It was the afternoon about half past one, I can’t see how ‘cuppa with a copper’ or  ‘the community’  could've  helped.  
    • It doesn't help that, on the night in question if I've understood it right, a lot of children and young people were parading the streets in masks and costumes. It seems sadly almost inevitable that some scrotes would take advantage of that.
