The last Dr Bike of the season. Sad. Let's hope it's not raining because there's no shelter at our workplace -- and it will be getting dark by the end of it too. Four mechanics, one pro and three ace amateurs, will be mending bikes, indexing gears, tightening brakes, pumping up tyres, fixing that squeak […]
Repeat of this popular, easy-paced, ride last ridden in July. Start/finish from Cutty Sark, Greenwich, beside the foot tunnel entrance. It is surprisingly easy to take a bike on the Emirates Airline cable car at North Greenwich (although you do have to pay - £3.50 with Oyster Card etc). Route will go from the Airline […]
Start/finish Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse, SE15 5JR). Easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets to Look Mum No Hands in Old St. This is the original cycle-cafe in the City and is a popular destination for a ride. Unusually for a 2 hour ride we will stop for a coffee at LMNH. Flat route […]
Meet outside Prince William Henry, 216-219 Blackfriars Rd, London SE1 8NL for an enjoyably grumpy look at Southwark's Quietways. The leader will be Sean Howes a large, cheerful, determined bloke on a green Bromption. The group will cycle the section of QW14 in Southwark and then loop back up the section of QW1 before heading […]

Tower Bridge and back. Meet Dulwich Clock Cafe in Dulwich Park. Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths with additional Dr Bike at start. Turn up a bit early if you would like something checked. Ride leader will be Charlie who is an expert bike mechanic. Out and back routes will be slightly […]
everyone knows that 1) speed cameras are just money-raising devices, that 2) drivers are the best judge of what is a safe speed. Everyone also knows that speeding is so commonplace and the police so busy that they don't have time to catch them all. Nevertheless, and bafflingly, complaints about speeding continue to flood in […]
