Anyone ever been?


My main questions are:


1. I'm not a beginner. But I'm not a solid lump of rippling biking muscle either - what is the general standard like?

2. Presumably rain = cancelled, right?

3. I have my own track bike, kitted out for roads (ie it has a brake) - do they discourage this and make you use theirs, or is it worth bringing ?

4. On a fitness scale of 1-10, how fit would you say you have to be to survive the morning? (I rate about 6 ; )

I believe they have groups for all levels of experience and fitness. Check out this link:

Looks like they would ask you to remove the brake or use one of their bikes and they run induction sessions to see what level you are at.


I know a lot of people who have been along and enjoyed themselves. They seem to be pretty inclusive. There's also an open night on Tuesdays where you can ride any type of bike, just for fitness and I think they've introduced sunday morning sessions too.

The induction sessions on saturday mornings (9AM), or the monday induction sessions (5PM), are great as long as you can ride a bike. I turned up on monday with only one other there to join me. Its no trouble to use one of their bikes and the guys there are really friendly and helpful. maybe see you down there on a monday =)

    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
    • No, no need to shut down tfl, just cut out the unnecessary and expensive beauracracy, simples.  Sep, you don't even live here.
