Peckham Arch looks like this but with a lot (a lot) more cars, buses, lorries and, of course, cyclists. The sky isn't blue all the time either. The Arch is due to be demolished and the site turned into houses. It was due to be shut in the autumn of 2017 since legally it has […]
Usual easy-paced ride using, as far as possible, quiet streets and paths. Suitable for all types of cyclist. This ride will use 2 of the new Quietways. Starting at Canada Water a short ride past Greenland Dock and along Oldfield Grove will take us to Q1 at the start of the Millwall Path. Route then […]
At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture below). 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 […]
Two of life's most pleasurable things. Bikes and breakfast. We will be offering coffee and croissant to all passers by who bring a bike to the traffic lights at the Dunton Road/Lynton Way traffic lights on Quietway 1. The idea is to celebrate Bike Week which has been celebrated every year since 1923. It's an annual […]

Return along Thames path to Woolwich, likely refreshment stop at Cornerstone Café, continue Thames path […]
This is my back. My best side. Come on the Bike Train and see more of it. We will be going via Quietway 1 -- London's best indeed only decent quietway. Just shows what can be done and a shame no one is trying to copy it. We set off at 7.45am from Nunhead station, […]
Welcome the new sun at sun rise at 04.43 BS 2018 on June 21st. In the Northern Hemisphere (where we are) the day of the summer solstice is the longest day of the year (the day with the most daylight and the shortest night). This year the sun will be at its highest at 11.07am […]
Our team of four is led by professional mechanic Charlie, with three ace amateurs, Andy, Mike and Bruno. Andy co-ordinates Southwark Cyclists (I'm not sure what that means but I think it must be a bit like herding cats) and Bruno co-ordinates HMG (ditto) When Andy, Mike and Bruno are baffled, I’m afraid they pass […]
