Free and everyone welcome. It's not a course. What gets taught depends on what problems you bring in. The guys that do it are well known from our summer-time Dr Bikes at Peckham Arch and on Quietway 1. These evening bike fixing sessions are a joint venture between Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants and Residents […]
Bob Eva (relation) will be holding the speedgun and representing the community. PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic above) will be representing the majesty of the law. Malefactors only get rude letters but they are rude letters from the police and so carry a certain threatening quality. Second offence results in car being entered on police […]
Our friends at Wheels for Wellbeing are fund-raising and they are a very good cause indeed. https://wheelsforwellbeing.org.uk. Wheels for Wellbeing present The Power of Cycling with cycling presenter, journalist and author Rebecca Charlton and commentator Anthony McCrossan. They will be in conversation with the lovely W4W director Isabelle Clement plus a special guest appearance from Tourettes heroine […]
Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. Start/finish in Deal Porter Square next to Canada Water Library and opposite CW Station (SE16 7AR). Plan is to ride to Greenwich, cross via the foot tunnel, then ride upstream to Tower Bridge, probably using the "canals" through Wapping. Finally back along the Bermondsey riverside to […]
Build your cycling skills with expert instructors from Cycle Confident. This is a free drop-in four-hour session. You don't have to book or stay for it all. You do need to bring bikes. Although the flyer says "bikes and helmets" that's not precisely right. No one needs a helmet as long as the parents consent. […]
At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture above). It’s much more respectable than it looks. Coming from Burgess Park, cross Camberwell New Road and proceed in an westerly direction along Urlwin Street, under the railway bridges, left at the end and straight on into the cul-de-sac in front of you. Very […]
Easy-paced ride with a coffee break half way. Suitable for all types of cyclist. Everyone welcome. Usual ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. Amanda will lead to Cody Dock, one of London's "hidden gems". This really needs nice weather so if it looks rainy we will switch to Olympic Park where you can get […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be holding the speedgun with Met side-kick PCSO Kevin Phillips writing down names and numbers. Speeding drivers get an increasingly threatening series of letters from the Met. Sadly the threats don't include crushing the car with the driver inside. To join in email kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk. He will be delighted to hear […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteers represent the community and PCSO Kevin Phillips represents the police. Together they spot speeding drivers and send them threatening letters. This is good. Even better is that they find so many that the Met have started doing it themselves and issuing real fines. I'm told that the speedgun is fun and it's […]
