Give up on railway trains. Forget the heat, the stress, the overcrowding. Join us on the Bike Train. Always get a seat. Pay nothing. Help us turn stressed-out passengers into happy (bike) commuters. There's a bit more effort to it than that it's true. But the route is good. Two parks, a traffic-calmed backstreet, the […]

"It was great having a chat along the way and a brilliant way to start the day" -- one rider's assessment of taking the Bike Train to work. The only shame is the job at the end. We start at 8am from Nunhead Station and pick up riders from Peckham Rye station (from the bike […]
The Doctor is back with his extensive toolkit, his encyclopaedic knowledge of all-things-bike and his cast of able assistants. They will be hard at work in their usual spot under Peckham Arch fixing bikes, indexing gears, tightening brakes and offering wise advice. It's all free to everyone who turns up. Don't be shy. Roll up.
Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads and paths. Clockwise loop outwards via Horniman Museum and Sydenham Wells Park. Circuit of Crystal Palace Park, including the Dinosaurs. These 2 parts of the ride a bit hilly, but total distance is less than usual, so can take the steeper sections slowly. Then long downhill run back […]

The good doctor is back again with his enormous bag of tools and his failthful assistants (who use his and bring their own). They will index your gears, tighten your brakes and give you wise advice on your chain, tyres and everything else bike-related. Maps, fighting talk and gossip about cycling in Southwark and beyond also available. […]
Usual 3.5 hour easy ride. Start/Finish Cutty Sark, by the tunnel entrance. The last ride to Trinity Buoy wharf was so popular we have decided to repeat it, but using a different route. This time will go outward along the south bank and cross at Woolwich using the foot tunnel. Then back along the north […]
