Joint funders are Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants and Residents Association who are providing the hall. You don't need to live on the Lettsom or in Southwark to take part. You do need to […]
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 […]

Werner will be holding the speed-gun on behalf of the community with the Met representing law-n-order. They will be near the junction of Southwark Bridge Road and Sawyer St. Drivers caught doing more than 20mph are sent an increasingly tough series of letters from the Met threatening fines, ANPR listing and other forms of ill-treatment. […]
Free and everyone welcome. It's not a course. What gets taught depends on what problems you bring in. The guys that do it are well known from our summer-time Dr Bikes at Peckham Arch and on Quietway 1. These evening bike fixing sessions are a joint venture between Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants and Residents […]
Bob Eva (relation) will be holding the speedgun and representing the community. PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic above) will be representing the majesty of the law. Malefactors only get rude letters but they are rude letters from the police and so carry a certain threatening quality. Second offence results in car being entered on police […]

Wheels for Wellbeing present The Power of Cycling with cycling presenter, journalist and author Rebecca Charlton and commentator Anthony McCrossan. They will be in conversation with the lovely W4W director Isabelle Clement plus a special guest appearance from Tourettes heroine […]
Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square next to Canada Water Library and opposite CW Station (SE16 7AR). Plan is to ride to Greenwich, cross via the foot tunnel, then ride upstream to Tower Bridge, probably using the "canals" through Wapping. Finally back along the Bermondsey riverside to […]
Build your cycling skills with expert instructors from Cycle Confident. This is a free drop-in four-hour session. You don't have to book or stay for it all. You do need to bring bikes. Although the flyer says "bikes and helmets" that's not precisely right. No one needs a helmet as long as the parents consent. […]
