“It was great having a chat along the way and a brilliant way to start the day” — one rider’s assessment of taking the Bike Train to work. The only shame is the job at the end.

We start at 8am from Nunhead Station and pick up riders from Peckham Rye station (from the bike stands behind McDonalds) at 8.10am. We are joined by riders from Denmark Hill who leave that station at 8.10am (from outside the cafe in Windsor Walk) and join the train in Burgess Park.

Our route takes us through two parks, north along a traffic-calmed backstreet, onto the pavement-cycling lanes along the New Kent Road, around the Elephant and Castle bypass and then onto the lovely new TfL segregation all the way to Blackfriars. Arrival time approx 8.45am.

From there riders are taken on by individual arrangement and we have taken people to Mayfair, Kings Cross, Faringdon and Tower Hill. All easy, legal and free. Return rides arranged individually.

To let us know you are joining the train at Denmark Hill please text Eleanor on 07905 972 or for Nunhead or Peckham Rye text Bruce on 07729 279 945. Alternatively, don’t text anyone at all and just turn up. Everyone is welcome.
