Show the Met the community cares about speeding. I'm sure we all do. Community Speedwatch is a collaboration between the community (us) and the police (PCSO Kevin Phillips and friends). The community volunteer -- in this case Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva -- holds the speed gun and the Met writes down the numbers and sends […]
Start/finish at Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ Usual easy-paced 10 mile ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. Start with the uphill bit, then can cruise home mostly downhill. College Rd to Crystal Palace Park, (some walking allowed for in the ride timing). Then down through the park to the dinosaurs. Return […]
This one is on Southwark Bridge Road near the junction with Sawyer St. Starring Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva and PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic). Wave as you go by or stop and have a chat if you think you might like to try it yourself
Free workshop open to all. It's jointly funded by Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association and run by Bruno, known to all who have used our Dr Bikes. The idea is to fix bikes while showing how to do it and encouraging people to try for themselves. It's not a course. What gets […]

Community Speedwatch will be at or near the junction of Croxted Road and the South Circular. Southwark Cyclists will be represented by Bob Eva. Stop and say hello, have a chat and […]
At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture above). 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 […]

War on the motorist -- point a speedgun at a speeding driver. Nothing much happens as a result -- TfL sends out sorrowful letters lamenting the law-breaking -- but your evidence encourages the real police to join in with real speeding tickets. See pic for one of the speeds they logged. The team will be […]
Point a speed gun at a speeding driver. The results are so impressive the Met have decided to take an interest. Driving round in police cars they didn't see much speeding and so they thought it didn't happen. Community Speedwatch shows that it does (as we all know). The team will be at the junction […]
