West London ride
Usual 3.5 hour easy ride. Leader Jane. Start/finish at Emma Cons Garden, small piazza opposite the Old Vic. Out via Lambeth Bridge, back via Albert Bridge and Battersea Park.

Dr Bike again
2016-10-13 17:30 - 19:30 | Peckham Arch, Peckham Square, by the Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR
Only two more Dr Bikes under the Arch before the winter. This unrepeatable offer must stop at the end of October. Last one October 27th. After that it’s too cold for the mechanics hands and also too dark for them to see what they are doing.
Let the Doctor have a look at your bike before the winter sets in. The Doctor will be there indexing gears, sorting out brakes and dispensing wise advice. And with him will be his able assistants also working away on bikes with various side-kicks dispensing maps, gossip and goodwill.
Find them under Peckham Arch (at the south end of Surrey Canal Path) from 5.30-7.30pm. Free, everyone welcome.
This service must stop at the end of October. Last one: October 27th, after that it’s too cold for the mechanics’ hands and also too dark to see what they are doing.

AGM & Monthly meeting
2016-10-12 18:30 - 20:30 | Nunhead Green Community Centre, 5 Nunhead Green, , Nunhead, SE15 3QQ, United Kingdom
Our AGM and monthly meeting are at the new Nunhead Green Community Centre at the usual time — 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 parking around the Green. 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.
Formal business should not take long. There will be an opportunity to discuss progress during 2015-16 and plans for 2016-2017. Come along and find out what we are doing and how you might be able to help. There will be free wine and pizza after and this is when the best discussions take place!

Bike Train to central London
2016-10-12 08:00 - 08:45 | Nunhead Station, Gibbon Road, London, Se15 3XE, United Kingdom
Final Opportunity to experience this “brilliant service” before we go monthly for the winter.
Next one after today will be November 16th.
However, that’s then and this is now. As always, we will be taking people who want to enjoy their commute to work up the Bike Train route to work — 50% parks, 40% segregated cycle lanes and 10% traffic-calmed backstreet. We never share the road with a bus or an HGV.
We leave Nunhead Station 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 in Burgess Park and arrive at Blackfriars at 8.45am. The starting point at Peckham Rye is the bike stands behind McDonalds. From Blackfriars riders are taken on individually (if they want) and destinations so far include Faringdon, Kings Cross, Westminster, Mayfair and Tower Hill.
Our route takes in two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the cycling-on-the-pavement lanes on the New Kent Road, the Elephant and Castle by-pass and then the new TfL segregation. It’s very quiet and enjoyable, mostly off-road (through parks) and then a backstreet. After that we are on segregation which is where there is a part of the road for bikes only, protected by about 2m of pavement.
The map is here: [www.google.com]
Entirely free and all welcome. To join in Denmark Hill text Liz Eden on 07814 515 715 or for Nunhead and Peckham text me on 07842 640 207 or don’t do any of that and just turn up.

Dr Bike for Students (and everyone else)
2016-10-10 14:00 - 16:00 | Peckham Pelican, SE15 5PY
You don’t need to be a student to bring your bike to this Dr Bike but it’s timed to be useful for those who get creative, learn or otherwise feed their minds during the day. Dr Bike is free bike maintenance event. The good doctor will sort out brakes, untangle weird gears, pump up your tyres and give your bike the sort of TLC which will transform your sprinting.
His able assistants assist him, as you might expect, and also offer wisdom and wise advice on local cycle routes along with maps, gossip and goodwill.
Note the new venue: outside the Peckham Pelican (or inside if it’s raining) which is at 92 Peckham Road SE15 5PY.

Greenwich and back - Rotherhithe Healthy Ride
2016-10-08 10:00 - 12:00 | Canada Water, 21 Surrey Quays Road, London, Southwark, SE16 7AR, United Kingdom
Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads and paths. David cannot lead his customary Thames loop due to the closure of Tower Bridge. Instead will go east to Greenwich, then back using mostly Quietway 1. Will give people a chance to judge the Lewisham and Greenwich stretches of the Quietway.

Bike Train to Central London
2016-10-05 08:00 - 08:45 | Nunhead Station, Gibbon Road, London, Se15 3XE, United Kingdom
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 Train is a led-ride and this one is a led-ride to work for those fed up with being at the mercy of the train operators, who want to take their commute into their own hands (or feet) (or something). Cycling makes you happy, keeps you healthy and costs nothing. A good deal.
We leave Nunhead Station 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 in Burgess Park and arrive at Blackfriars at 8.45am. The starting point at Peckham Rye is the bike stands behind McDonalds.

Dulwich Park to Vauxhall Bridge - Healthy Ride
2016-10-01 10:00 - 12:00 | Dulwich Clock Cafe, Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ, Dulwich Park Cafe, London, SE21 7EA, United Kingdom
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 stuff. Also had not realized you could do a Dulwich to the Thames ride within our 2 hour envelope. But a total of 11 miles should be just do-able.
Outward route is going to be quick. Unusually we will use several main roads, notably a long run down Brixton Road. This is not bad as there is plenty Bus Lane. Return route, when we will be going slower, is a more typical “Healthy Ride” back street and parks route. Route at https://goo.gl/p7bpWJ

Bike Market -- sell your bike or buy another and have two
2016-09-24 10:00 - 17:00 | Cornwall Road, London, SE1, United Kingdom
Peddlemywheels are bringing their bike market to the Lambeth Car Free Day in Cornwall Road
http://www.peddlemywheels.com/home

Lambeth Car Free Day, SE1
Celebrating the better use of public space than merely for cars, the council will be filling Cornwall Road with “fun and music”.
Cornwall Road will be closed to cars for the day on Saturday 24 September and returned it to the people. The council said “Encouraging cycling and walking over sedentary travel is particularly important at the moment with startling number of obese children and the shocking levels of air pollution. Adding a bit of active travel into your day will improve health, decrease carbon emissions and in many cases save time and money.”
Lambeth Sustainable Travel stall will be there with staff to discuss schemes such as ‘try before you bike’ and cycle training. If you have a bike to sell you can bring it on the day and also buy a quality second hand one for you or your child at the fabulous Lambeth Bike Market which tours schools and is being showcased this year at Car Free Day.
Cornwall Road runs between Upper Ground and The Cut. Take no notice of the Google Map. it’s wrong.

Bike Train to Central London
2016-09-21 08:00 - 08:45 | Nunhead Station, Gibbon Road, London, Se15 3XE, United Kingdom
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 folks it’s not compulsory.

Cycle to Work Special from Crystal Palace
2016-09-14 07:30 - 08:30 | cafe st Germain, 16-17 Crystal Palace Parade, SE19 1UA, United Kingdom
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 Elephant and Castle on the bypass. Then he’s offering a choice between CSH7 over Southwark Bridge or CSH6 (aka the North/South Cycle Superhighway) up Blackfriars Road and over that Bridge. There’s only one Angus so how he’s going to manage the split is not clear.
To let him know you are coming you can text me on 07842 640 207 or you can just turn up. Angus is cool with either. It’s normal to be late but don’t be. Just in time is OK.

Comments on the Bike Train have been so complimentary that modesty (and credibility) stops me from publishing them. I’ll immediately contradict myself. One rider said “I can’t believe you do this for nothing”. Well we do and we enjoy it, as you will too.

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.

Come on our famous Bike Train and find, like previous riders, that it “changes everything” about getting on your bike to work.

Dr Bike and PCSOs
2016-08-18 17:30 - 19:30 | Peckham Arch, Peckham Square, by the Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR
The good doctor is back again with his enormous bag of tools and his failthful assistants (who use his and bring their own). They will index your gears, tighten your brakes and give you wise advice on your chain, tyres and everything else bike-related. Maps, fighting talk and gossip about cycling in Southwark and beyond also available.
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

This life-enhancing 140 acre park is part of the Bike Train route and every week someone says “I didn’t know this was here”. Come and find out for yourself. The Bike Train is running through the holidays.
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.
Our route takes us 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.
From there riders are taken on by individual arrangement and we have taken people to Mayfair, Kings Cross, Faringdon and Tower Hill. All easy, legal and free. Return rides arranged individually.
To book your seat at Denmark Hill text Liz Eden on 07814 515 715 or at Peckham or Nunhead contact me on 07842 640 207 — or don’t book anything at all and just turn up. All welcome. Free.

Dulwich Park to Crystal Palace Loop - Healthy Ride
2016-08-06 10:00 - 12:00 | Dulwich Clock Cafe, Dulwich Park SE21 7BQ, Dulwich Park Cafe, London, SE21 7EA, United Kingdom
Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads and paths. Clockwise loop outwards via Horniman Museum and Sydenham Wells Park. Circuit of Crystal Palace Park, including the Dinosaurs. These 2 parts of the ride a bit hilly, but total distance is less than usual, so can take the steeper sections slowly. Then long downhill run back via Bel Air Park. Route at https://goo.gl/z4Wft7
