This is our destination. The lovely new segregated cycle lanes to Blackfriars and beyond. Our "secret route" to the segregation takes us through two parks, a traffic-calmed residential backstreet, the pavement cycle lanes on the New Kent Road, the E&C bypass and the Dutch-style cycle lanes. We leave Nunhead Station at 8am and Peckham Rye […]
Everyone welcome. Updates on Bike Train, plus Bike Train Awayday Weekender, re-organising our banking (oh it will be so exciting). Do come, or meet us in the Old Nun's Head afterwards for the best bit
We will be upstairs in Holly. There is a lift. The chair is ferocious and we never over-run. The pub is right next door. You are welcome to skip the meeting and meet us in the pub. You are also welcome to come to the meeting if you wish. We will be discussing the Dunwich […]
The good doctor and his able assistants are back again, fixing bikes, mending tyres, adjusting brakes, indexing gears (is that right? Ed) and handing out wise advice. Three superlative mechanics, gossip, maps, info and assorted leaflets will be under Peckham Arch from 5.30-7.30pm. Everything they provide is free. Everyone is cheerful. All welcome.

This flowery bank is slightly off the Bike Train route. You have to stop in Burgess Park Cafe on the way back to get a good look at it. But you get the idea. This route goes through the park, two parks in fact, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the New Kent Road on-pavement cycle lanes, the […]
Dulwich-Beckenham Place Park Easy-paced (about 14 miles in 3.5 hours) and avoiding the busiest roads. Part of a series on 3rd Saturdays each month. Longer version of regular Healthy Rides. Out via Horniman Museum, Forest Hill, Mayow Park, NR21 from Bell Green to Cator Park. Driveway to Mansion, coffee break, then ride Ravensbourne Green Way […]
The Bike Train will run up to town on a Sunday so that this "bit of inside knowledge" (as one rider called it) can be shared as widely as possible and enjoyed without the prospect of work at the other end Ride Leader Bruce Lynn will take riders up to Blackfriars Bridge by the Bike […]
Bike your way IN to history! Ever wondered about the names of Calais Road, De Crespigny Park, Denmark Hill or Delft Way? Did you know that Camberwell had a thriving German population in the 19th century, supporting bakeries, a German church and visiting composers? Or that a community of French Huguenot refugees settled here? Have […]
Doesn't that look nice? There's about a mile of segregation on Blackfriars Road and St George's Way taking you to the heart of London. The Bike Train takes you to the segregation and after Blackfriars to Westminster, Mayfair, Faringdon, Kings Cross, and Canary Wharf. You name it we can take you there (within reason, like) […]
