this is one of the monthly "+" Rides starting at 9.30am and returning for 1pm. It's a sort of stretching exercise for those who want to go that bit further and see more of London than can be cycled in the usual 120mins. Next unusual thing is the start line. The ride starts at the […]
I don't think it will look like this yet, really. Forget-me-nots, yes maybe. Poppies come later. Still one can hope. Only visible from the Bike Train. All right you have to put the effort in but hey, your bike is reliable, always turns up and you have a whole saddle to yourself. Come with us […]
Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads and paths. Bit shorter than normal as there are a few hills. Start/finish at the Pavilion Cafe in the middle of Dulwich Park (approx post code SE21 7BQ). Outward via Horniman Museum (brief stop), then through to Sydenham Wells Park and into Crystal Palace Park at the small […]
Bike Trainers look like this. Surprisingly normal really and not at all puffed out. They are all cycling by themselves now and wave when they meet us. Make friends on your way to work. Come with us and learn off-road and segregated routes to Kings Cross via Blackfriars. We bike-buddy riders to their final destination. […]
This meeting is at our new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture below). It’s much more respectable than it looks. Coming from Burgess Park, cross Camberwell New Road and proceed proceed in an easterly direction along Urlwin Street, under the railway bridges, left at the end and straight on into the cul-de-sac […]
Meet beside Canada Water Library, opposite the station. Really easy ride - 14km (8.4 miles) with no hills. Plan is to use the Quietway 14 alignment for the outward leg. Some work has recently started on bits towards the west, e.g. on Snowsfields and Union St. But mostly this is still just a paper route, […]
The Bike Train doesn't look like this of course. It's comfortable, friendly, and reliable (the Bike Train, that is). And free. Come with us and learn off-road and segregated routes to central London via Blackfriars. We bike-buddy riders to their final destination. Escorted all the way and totally free. The Bike Train is at a […]
