Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Bob Eva, the speedgun and his personal protection, PCSO Kevin Phillips will be at the junction of Lordship Lane and Court Lane. This is always a popular spot with the guys -- lots of law-breaking, as anyone who cycles through here can testify. It's a mutual protection society. Kevin protects Bob from […]
Idea is to explore a bit further west on the south side of the river. Burgess Park is on the west edge of Southwark, so the obvious place to start. Last did this ride on August 31st 2019, see report at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-august-sept-2019.html. Outward route will go via Vauxhall and Battersea Power Station to Battersea Park. […]
Run by Bruno on behalf of Southwark Cyclists in Camberwell Leisure Centre which has south-east London’s most memorable address, Artichoke Place SE5 8TS (see pic). 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 Cyclist Bob Eva will be wielding the speed gun at the junction of Croxted Road and the South Circular. He will be protected by PCSO Kevin Phillips who writes down the numbers and makes of offending vehicles and arranges for TfL to send them rude letters. Those caught twice get more harsh treatment. They […]
Start/finish at Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park. First section goes via quiet streets to our Peckham start point in Peckham Square. Next Canal Path and Glengall Rd through to Quietway 1 at Oxley Close. Short stretch of Q1, then to Butlers Wharf and Potters Field Park next to Tower Bridge via Bermondsey Spa Gardens […]
Fed up with speeding? You can do something about it. Volunteer for Community Speedwatch. You can suggest times, dates and locations. The community volunteer holds the speedgun and a PCSO writes down the numbers and makes of offending vehicles. Then he sends the details to TfL who sends owners cross letters. If you think that […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be wielding the speedgun at the junction of Salter Road and Lagado Mews. With him will be PCSO Kevin Phillips. Bob shouts out the speeds, Kevin writes down the numbers and makes. You will not be surprised to know that in a two hour session they fill four pages of […]
Don't think we're picking on Salter Road or anything. It's just that our cycling volunteers specially object to speeding around here. The man with the gun for this second outing of the day on Salter Road will be Werner who runs some of our Saturday rides about Victorian engineers. This is always a popular spot […]
Join us for our March monthly meeting at 41 Grosvenor Park, SE5 0NH on Wednesday the 11th. The topic of the evening will be about school streets. We'll look to identify potential locations, group them by difficulty, and identify members and allies that can push for each. Our meetings are formatted as follows. Feel free […]
Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet steets or paths. 2 hour, about 10 miile, ride from our regular 2nd Saturday start/finish location next to Canada Water Library and opposite the station. Convenient if you want to come on the Overground as CW Station is step free. Route will cross 4 bridges. Go along the riverside […]
The team will be at the junction of Croxted Road and the South Circular, speedgun at the ready. The evidence of speeding that they provide has persuaded the Met to set its own speed traps. Volunteers can suggest dates, times and locations to PCSO Kevin Phillips who will check their suitability (no speed humps, no […]
This event has been cancelled. This is a drop-in not a course so what gets taught is pretty random. You bring the problems and the guys teach you how to fix them. This is the place to bring the bike covered in spiders which you found in your Mam’s shed. They also do less long […]
This event has been cancelled. Jamie will be at the pick up points as planned for anyone who still wants to do this. But keep your "social distance" and observe all hygiene advice. Usual easy-paced ride on, as far as possible, quiet streets and paths. Planning to repeat the Canada Water to Royal Docks tour […]
Due to fears over Coronavirus this conference has been postponed. No new date set. Southwark Council is holding a conference 'Tackling the Climate Emergency' today. This presents a real opportunity for residents, community and environmental groups and stakeholders to get involved and contribute their feedback to the Council's climate strategy while it is still at […]
Just what it says really. We have a great mechanic at this Bring 'n Fix it session at the Walworth Living Room (see pic). Bring a bike (any condition) and they will help you get it into better shape. There are guys fixing lots of other things too so you can bring those along as […]
Southwark Cyclist volunteer Bob Eva and PCSO Kevin Phillips will be at the junction of Village Way and Half Moon Lane, trusty speedgun at the ready. This is a good spot for catching speeders, I'm told. The community volunteer wields the gun and Kevin writes down the numbers and makes of the speeders. Then he […]
Popular enthusiasm for Community Speedwatch is inspiring the Met to join in. Parts of the red routes are now 20 mph and anyone caught over 20mph can receive a fine. The Met have been out in full force and handed over 100 speeding tickets around the New Kent Road fly over and other locations in […]
Cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic. Start/finish in Dulwich Park. Usual easy-paced ride on, as far as possible, quiet streets and paths. Check back for more route information nearer the date.
