“It’s like being given the keys to the City” — that’s the comment of one Bike Trainer on arrival at Blackfriars Bridge. Come with us and see for yourself. Arrive happy and with a sense of achievement before 9am.

We leave Nunhead Station at 8am and meet other riders at 8.10 at the bike stands near Peckham Rye Station (behind McDonalds). A branch line starts from Denmark Hill Station at 8.10am (meet outside the cafe in Windsor Walk). Text Liz on 0781 451 5715 to let her know you’re coming.

Our route includes two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the on-pavement cycle lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle cycling bypass and the lovely new segregated lanes to the river. We arrive at Blackfriars at 8.45am.

From there it’s easy and safe to go on to Farringdon, Mayfair, Westminster and the Tower. We offer buddy rides to all these places and escorted rides back, arranged individually. All fun and free.

To take part, just turn up or text me on 07842 640 207 or mail southwark@lcc.org.uk. All welcome. The only thing you need to bring with you is a bike.
