The Bike Train is a commuter ride leaving out the crush, the waiting, the heat and the congestion. We take about 35 minutes to get from Peckham Rye to Blackfriars Bridge and we do not go fast. I’m the pace-setter and I go about 8mph. Occasionally I overtake (small) children but I’m generally overtaken by […]
Meet the team. From the left, my husband Bob, me (the bald one) and Andy who's in charge. Total age around 200 not including Eleanor. The red bike belongs to Eleanor who took the photo. Well, maybe it doesn't belong to her. Maybe she borrowed it. But still, come with us and learn off-road and […]
Bike Trainers past -- looking surprisingly lovely really when you think what the organisers look like. Arriving at work with a smile on their faces. You can do that too. Come with us and learn off-road and segregated routes to central London via Blackfriars. We bike-buddy riders to their final destination. Escorted all the way and […]
It seems to be just me who finds black cabs romantic. Most people immediately associate them with enormous fares. Anyway Bike Taxi will not be romantic (during working hours at any rate) and they are free. The idea is that your Bike Taxi will take you anywhere you wish to go -- any time, any […]
This is my back. My best bit. The front is quite friendly. The vest is a bit out of date. We are running our Bike Taxi to central London via Quietway 1 which is a great route but can be tricky to find from Peckham and Nunhead. Come with us on Wednesday and we will show […]
This is your (aging) train crew. I'm the bald one in the middle with my husband Bob on my right and my boss, Andy, co-ordinator of southwark cyclists on my left. We are pausing for thought near the BMX track in Burgess Park. We don't think much so it was a short stop. If we […]
The Bike Train has fans (lots of them) but we recognise it can't be perfect for everyone. That's why we are introducing Bike Taxis. These will be customised rides designed for individuals. For some people the Bike Train just doesn't work. They don't work on Wednesdays or they don't like Blackfriars Bridge. If I'm describing […]
This is a map of Quietway 1. It comes within half a mile of Peckham High Street but is completely unsigned until you're on it. The best approach is via Surrey Canal Path and Glengall Road -- and that's the way the Bike Train goes. We start from outside Nunhead station at 7.45am and pick […]
