This is our destination. The lovely new segregated cycle lanes to Blackfriars and beyond. Our "secret route" to the segregation takes us through two parks, a traffic-calmed residential backstreet, the pavement cycle lanes on the New Kent Road, the E&C bypass and the Dutch-style cycle lanes. We leave Nunhead Station at 8am and Peckham Rye […]

This flowery bank is slightly off the Bike Train route. You have to stop in Burgess Park Cafe on the way back to get a good look at it. But you get the idea. This route goes through the park, two parks in fact, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the New Kent Road on-pavement cycle lanes, the […]

Doesn't that look nice? There's about a mile of segregation on Blackfriars Road and St George's Way taking you to the heart of London. The Bike Train takes you to the segregation and after Blackfriars to Westminster, Mayfair, Faringdon, Kings Cross, and Canary Wharf. You name it we can take you there (within reason, like) […]

"It's like being given the keys to the City" -- that's the comment of one Bike Trainer on arrival at Blackfriars Bridge. Come with us and see for yourself. Arrive happy and with a sense of achievement before 9am. We leave Nunhead Station at 8am and meet other riders at 8.10 at the bike stands […]

Give up on railway trains. Forget the heat, the stress, the overcrowding.  Join us on the Bike Train. Always get a seat. Pay nothing. Help us turn stressed-out passengers into happy (bike) commuters. There's a bit more effort to it than that it's true. But the route is good. Two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the […]
