Run by Bruno (see pic) on behalf of Southwark Cyclists in Camberwell Leisure Centre which has south-east London's most memorable address, Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. The leisure centre is friendly, cheerful, accessible and welcoming. Bruno and the boys are the same. Everyone is welcome and no one pays. This is a drop-in not a course. […]
Southwark Cyclists volunteer Robert Eva, his mate Kevin (see pic) and their trusty speedgun will be on John Ruskin Street, noting down numbers and collecting evidence of speeding on behalf of the Met. You can join in. Email kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk for a warm welcome.
Start/finish at Dulwich Clock cafe in Dulwich Park, SE21 7BQ. Easy ride avoiding any big hills. Out via Herne Hill Velodrome, Brockwell Park and Brixton Windmill. On Clapham Common, bit of a circuit and brief stop at Cafe near Bandstand. Return via Brockwell Park (other side) and Bel Air Park. Suitable for all styles of […]
At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture above). 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 […]
Free bike maintenance with added advice. Our mechanics will tighten your brakes, check and inflate your tyres and index your gears (this means stop them making that clicking noise) They will also give chain advice (when it keeps falling off you need a new one, clean it more often and it will last longer). This […]
Flat 9.5 mile route using lots of Cycleway and passing many interesting places. Start/finish at Deal Porter Square, opposite Canada Water Station and next to Canada Water Library, SE16 7AR. At usual easy pace head to the river then follow the Thames Path/Cyclway14 to Dockhead. Over Tower Bridge and join Cycleway 3 and ride this […]
Back on Salter Road near the junction with SE1. Cyclists know the danger of speeding motors. These speed traps evidence the problem to the Met and borough councils who are joining in the move to 20mph speed limits. Even Westminster is thinking slower. If you cycle into their area you can tell them what you […]
It always baffles me why cars seem to accelerate down hills. Dog Kennel Hill is a fine example and our Southwark Cyclist volunteer Robert Eva will be there encouraging them to resist temptation. With him, for personal protection, will be PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic), a jovial soul with an understandable disapproval of bad driving. […]
Easy-paced, flat, 19 mile ride starting and finishing at the Park Life Cafe in Burgess Park. Route out via Lansdowne Gardens, Battersea Park, Albert Bridge and Chelsea Harbour. Coffee stop in Bishops Park. Just about time to have a look at Fulham Palace. Return via Putney Bridge, excellent paths along the Wandsworth and Battersea riverside, […]

London's green spaces have always been valuable for cycling and this ride celebrates 5 of our local parks - Burgess, Ruskin, Brockwell, Dulwich and Peckham Rye. Indeed London is now the world's first National Park City, a recognition of just how green it is and a challenge to keep it so. We have done this […]
Southwark Cyclists volunteer Robert Eva will be out with a speedgun hoping not to better the previous top speed registered by CRW of 66mph (see pic). His personal protection officer PCSO Kevin Phillips will be standing beside him writing down the numbers of law-breakers. There are so many they give poor, old Kevin a sore […]
This is a route we have done several times, most recently in February with snow on the ground in Crystal Palace Park (see photo with ride report at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-jan-march2019.html). Should be no risk of snow in early November! Propose to ride clockwise. Start across to Peckham Rye Park then over the hill at Nunhead and […]
