This is your (aging) train crew. I'm the bald one in the middle with my husband Bob on my right and my boss, Andy, co-ordinator of southwark cyclists on my left. We are pausing for thought near the BMX track in Burgess Park. We don't think much so it was a short stop. If we […]
What can I say? The grief, the despair. Nothing to do but stay at home in the warm and drink. The final opportunity of 2017 to get someone to work on your bike for nothing. They may be grumpier than usual. They may be cold. Nevertheless they are still good workers. The good Doctor and […]
The Bike Train has fans (lots of them) but we recognise it can't be perfect for everyone. That's why we are introducing Bike Taxis. These will be customised rides designed for individuals. For some people the Bike Train just doesn't work. They don't work on Wednesdays or they don't like Blackfriars Bridge. If I'm describing […]
Let the Doctor check your bike. The Doctor and his bike health workers will tighten your brakes, pump up your tyres and index your gears. Never make those strange noises again when you brake or change gear. The doctor likes to be challenged so bring your problems along. His aides and attendants will be handing out […]

This is our AGM where we elect the co-ordinator, secretary and those who do all the work. If you want to be one of them or nominate anyone please come along. To vote you will need your LCC membership card. We also hear reports of what has been done during the past 12 months and […]
This is a map of Quietway 1. It comes within half a mile of Peckham High Street but is completely unsigned until you're on it. The best approach is via Surrey Canal Path and Glengall Road -- and that's the way the Bike Train goes. We start from outside Nunhead station at 7.45am and pick […]
Easy-paced flat ride with a Charlie Chaplin theme. Chaplin was born and brought up in South London so a 2 hour ride from Peckham can include his birthplace and many places he lived in while growing up, including the Lambeth Workhouse. Detailed information about the places to be included and about Chaplin's life can be […]
I put the train-assisted bit up front to remind anyone planning to come to bring their Oyster/contactless cards with them. The ride was planned a month ago to go via Haggerston but those planned engineering works keep on coming and the line from Highbury and Islington to Shadwell will be shut on Saturday, wiping out […]
