Starts from the Cafe St Germain, here shown looking very summery and complete with bike. Leader will be Angus Hewlett. He sets off before the central Southwark Bike Train to get though Dulwich before the school run. Up Greendale (a hill but green) and down through Camberwell, Burgess Park, up Portland Street and around the […]
A Bike Train is a bike ride to work. Cycling makes you happy, keeps you healthy and costs nothing. We leave Nunhead at 8am, Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye stations at 8.10am. At Denmark Hill we leave from the cafe in Windsor Walk led by Liz Eden (07814 515 715). The two rides meet and […]

Testimonials -- don't they make you blush. I'm going to be brave anyway and share the views of one rider who said " I am addicted to cycling now!!!! Thank you very much for show me how good is to cycle in London". On second thoughts maybe becoming addicted isn't such a great idea. Don't worry […]
Our monthly meeting has been moved to the 21st due to too many meetings on the same day. The AGM will be on our normal second Wednesday in the month -- October 12th. All welcome to either or both. The meeting starts at 6.30pm and ends promptly at 8.30pm if not before. We don't waffle […]
Usual easy-paced, 2 hour, ride. Current idea is to include the Lambeth Car Free Day on Cornwall Rd near the South Bank. Out using Quietway 1; back partly using NS Cycle Superhighway. Route at http://goo.gl/Hp8JQ4

A Bike Train is an escorted ride. This one takes cheerful people like this to work. I am the bald one second from the right. We take riders from Peckham, Denmark Hill and Nunhead to work, arriving at the north end of Blackfriars Bridge at 8.45am. Return rides arranged personally. We leave Nunhead at 8am, […]
The challenge was to design a non-hilly ride starting from Dulwich. Ended up following the “lost” river Effra to the Thames. Starting at 131ft and ending at 16 ft. With all the small bumps there is a total of 245ft of ascent, mostly on the return leg, of course. But it is pretty low slope […]
This is a picture of the segregated cycle lanes on Blackfriars Road as they looked on the plans. They don't look like this now. They are full of cyclists. Safe, wide, protected cycle lanes like this one make up about 40% of the Bike Train route. About half of it is through parks. A Bike […]
