We did this route last year (see report) to demonstrate that you could do a non-hilly ride from Dulwich. Route follows the the “lost” river Effra to the Thames. Outward leg via Brockwell Park to Brixton town centre where traffic can be heavy. Down Brixton Road and round the Oval is gently downhill and mostly […]
This will be at the junction of Brenchley Gardens and Forest Hill Road. Bob Eva is the volunteer. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters from TfL the first time and even the second time. It’s only the third time they get passed on to the police. The Met send a getting-serious-now letter that includes […]
These hands have been working. Put them to work on your bike. They belong to Mike who is one of the three volunteer mechanics led by ace-pro Charlie who make up the Dr Bike team. They will tighten your brakes, index your gears and pump up your tyres. All the easy stuff. Speak nicely to […]

At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture below). It’s much more respectable than it looks. Coming from Burgess Park, cross Camberwell New Road and proceed in an westerly direction along Urlwin Street, under the railway bridges, left at the end and straight on into the cul-de-sac in front of you. Very […]
Healthy Ride +. Meet at Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park, Chumleigh Gardens, off Albany Rd (SE5 0RJ). Usual easy-paced ride using a route with plenty of paths and quiet streets - athough there are a few busy stretches. Out via Kennington Park, Westminster Bridge and Hyde Park, including the new-ish cycle lane along South […]
At Brenchley Gardens junction with Forest Hill Road again. Bob Eva again too. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters the first time and even the second time. It’s only the third one that includes a fine. So therefore teams have to go to the same place again (and again). Enough to catch the same […]
Burgess Park is 140 acres of seriously nice. It's a young park, built since the War by planners who believed that recreation and green space were essential parts of life. Quietway 7 runs across from Benhill St in Camberwell to Portland St. The tricky bit has been crossing Albany Road to get to Portland but traffic […]
This one is on Barry Road at its junction with Upland Road. Bob Eva is the volunteer. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters from TfL the first time and even the second time. It’s only the third one who gets forwarded to the police. They get a getting-serious letter that includes a fine. So […]
This is Mike. He stopped by one day, joined in and since then has turned up every time. I'm told that his day job is re-designing the world to make it more bike friendly. A big job but he will be up to it. With Charlie, Bruno and Andy he makes up the Dr Bike […]
Harry, who is leading this one, has worked out another great route. A 9.5 mile, flat ride. Starts along Surrey canal path, around the back turnings to reach Burgess park, then via Bagshot street to the New Kent road. Stops at Newington Gardens (Location of Horsemonger Lane Goal), Angel Place (Location of Marshalsea Prison), Bear […]

At the junction of Southwark Bridge Road and Sawyer Street. Bob Eva is our volunteer. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters the first time and even the second time.

There are toilets on London Bridge Station nearby, and of course you can take the train to/from the start. All those nice […]
