Bike Train to central London
2016-08-31 08:00 - 08:45 UTC | Nunhead Station, Gibbon Road, London, Se15 3XE, United Kingdom
This is a picture of my back because the Bike Train route is much better looking than I am. We run from central Southwark to Blackfriars and Westminster every Wednesday rush hour morning. Our route is 50% parks and 40% segregation. The remaining 10% is a backstreet. We do not cycle up any part of the Old Kent Road. “Brilliant” as one rider said last week.
The route is here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1Pq8aj3Ylf1S9eg44QbGvAD4qSbM
We start at 8am from Nunhead Station and pick up riders from Peckham Rye station (from the bike stands behind McDonalds) at 8.10am. We are joined by riders from Denmark Hill who leave that station at 8.10am (from outside the cafe in Windsor Walk) and join the train in Burgess Park.
We cycle through two parks, north along a traffic-calmed backstreet, onto the pavement-cycling lanes along the New Kent Road, around the Elephant and Castle bypass and then onto the lovely new TfL segregation all the way to Blackfriars. Arrival time approx 8.45am. On time every time. Fun and free.

He will be under Peckham Arch at the south end of Surrey Canal Path which is the lovely bit of woodland heading down into Peckham.
PCSOs getting grumpy and expensive about cycling on the pavement at the north end of Rye Lane seem to be there most mornings at the moment. They want people to use the cycle path which goes round the edge instead of going straight on. Always worth keeping an eye open for

Monthly meeting
2016-07-13 18:30 - 20:30 | Nunhead Green Community Centre, 5 Nunhead Green,, Nunhead, SE15 3QQ, United Kingdom
Our monthly meeting will be at the new Nunhead Green Community Centre — upstairs in Holly. There’s a lift for those who can’t manage stairs.
There’s parking for 6 bikes outside the centre and more in a bike shed behind the centre which is dark and unobserved and accessible over the back wall. There’s more parking around the Green and there’s always been enough so far.
The approach from Nunhead Lane involves a not very nice, not very wide blind bend which the traffic takes too fast, so the advised approach is via Scylla Road. This route needs some railings removed and some drop kerbs but from an absence of traffic point of view, it is the best.

Bike Train to central London and beyond
2016-07-13 08:00 - 08:45 | Nunhead Station, Gibbon Road, London, Se15 3XE, United Kingdom
The Bike Train led by experienced cyclists takes riders to Blackfriars on a route through two parks, up a traffic-calmed backstreet, around the Elephant and Castle by-pass and onto the wonderful new segregated cycle lanes.

We arrive at the north end of Blackfriars Bridge at 8.45am where riders go their separate ways accompanied (if they wish) by Bike Buddies who have so far taken cyclists on to Hyde Park, Mayfair, Kings Cross and Tower Hill. The majority of the route is off-route through parks or segregated — with three feet of raised pavement between riders and the traffic.
Rides back are arranged individually. Everyone is welcome. Unlike the trains, everyone gets a seat, no one gets a backpack in their face and there are no cancellations or delays. Arrive on time with a feeling of achievement before 9am.

Bike Sale -- secondhand, not stolen
2016-07-09 12:00 - 15:00 | Bessemer Grange Primary School, Dylways, SE5 8HP, United Kingdom
Peddlemywheels are bringing their brilliant bike re-selling service to Bessemer Grange Primary School summer fair, Dylways SE5 8HP. http://bessemergrangeprimary.co.uk
These guys run pop-up bike markets in conjunction with councils and other organisations throughout London. More here: http://www.peddlemywheels.com/public-bike-markets
Sellers can bring their unwanted adult and child bikes along with some photo ID and a mechanic will check the bike over before putting it up for sale. It is completely free to sell your bike on the day. If your bike does not sell on the day don’t worry PMW can take it to their next market and make a PayPal or bank transfer to you once it’s sold (in these cases there is a 25% commission fee).
Buyers get the assurance that the bike they’re buying has not been stolen and has been checked by a qualified mechanic — often undergoing a full service before selling.
Both sides get a good deal and no thieves get rich.

Dr Bike (again)
2016-06-23 17:30 - 19:30 | Peckham Arch, Peckham Square, by the library and the coffee van, SE15 5JR
yes indeed. The Doctor is back with his spanners, limitless knowledge of things bike and his keen and cunning assistants. Let them index your gears, oil your chain, fix your tyres, tighten your brakes and offer you wise advise on that clanking sound (the back wheel).
At the same time, assistants who can’t mend bikes give out maps and info about local cycling events/campaigns and generally how to get home.
All this will be yours free, gratis and for nothing. No pressure to buy. No one will ask you to sign anything. No one will moan or look grumpy. Find us under Peckham Arch at the south end of Surrey Canal Path. We are the big clump of yellow jackets just before you cross Peckham High Street.

Bike Train to central London and beyond
2016-06-22 08:00 - 08:45 | Nunhead Station, Gibbon Road, London, Se15 3XE, United Kingdom
Doesn’t that look nice? There’s about a mile of segregation on Blackfriars Road and St George’s Way taking you to the heart of London. The Bike Train takes you to the segregation and after Blackfriars to Westminster, Mayfair, Faringdon, Kings Cross, and Canary Wharf. You name it we can take you there (within reason, like)
We use two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the pavement-cycle-lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle by-pass and then (joy) the segregation to Blackfriars. Anyone whose ever seen the traffic on the Old Kent Road will feel they have been transported to another city.
The Bike Train leaves Nunhead Station at 8am and picks up riders at the bike stands behind McDonalds in Rye Lane (right beside Peckham Rye Station). We pick up other riders from our Denmark Hill branch line in Burgess Park and then the train is fast (not really) to Blackfriars Bridge.
The segregation goes north from there to Faringdon, west to Westminster and east to Tower Hill (I think). On from there on Cable Street (I’m told). You can tell I’m a bit hazy from there.
To join text me on 07842 604 207; email southwark@lcc.org.uk or just turn up. If we know you are coming we will wait.

European History of Peckham and Camberwell
2016-06-19 14:15 - 16:30 | Peckham Arch, Peckham Square, by the library and the coffee van, SE15 5JR
Bike your way IN to history!
Ever wondered about the names of Calais Road, De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill or Delft Way? Did you know that Camberwell had a thriving German population in the 19th century, supporting bakeries, a German church and visiting composers? Or that a community of French Huguenot refugees settled here? Have you spotted the Greek Orthodox Cathedral on Camberwell New Road? Ever bought Cypriot pastries in SE5 or French chocolate in SE15?

This free guided cycle ride will uncover the European history of Camberwell and Peckham. It’s led by Eleanor Margolies, author of ‘Green Camberwell’. All welcome, including accompanied children. We will mainly be on quiet roads and will travel at a gentle pace, with stops for sightseeing and appropriate refreshments.
Booking: The ride is completely free but it would help us to plan if you book. Please email eleanor.margolies at southwark.greenparty.org.uk to book or with any questions.
