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 […]
Free bike maintenance with added advice. Our mechanics will tighten your brakes, check and inflate your tyres and index your gears (this means stop them making that clicking noise) They will also give chain advice (when it keeps falling off you need a new one, clean it more often and it will last longer). This […]

Back on Salter Road near the junction with SE1. Cyclists know the danger of speeding motors. These speed traps evidence the problem to the Met and borough councils who are joining in the move to 20mph speed limits. Even Westminster is thinking slower. If you cycle into their area you can tell them what you […]
It always baffles me why cars seem to accelerate down hills. Dog Kennel Hill is a fine example and our Southwark Cyclist volunteer Robert Eva will be there encouraging them to resist temptation. With him, for personal protection, will be PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic), a jovial soul with an understandable disapproval of bad driving. […]

London's green spaces have always been valuable for cycling and this ride celebrates 5 of our local parks - Burgess, Ruskin, Brockwell, Dulwich and Peckham Rye. Indeed London is now the world's first National Park City, a recognition of just how green it is and a challenge to keep it so. We have done this […]
Southwark Cyclists volunteer Robert Eva will be out with a speedgun hoping not to better the previous top speed registered by CRW of 66mph (see pic). His personal protection officer PCSO Kevin Phillips will be standing beside him writing down the numbers of law-breakers. There are so many they give poor, old Kevin a sore […]
