Speed kills. Amazing the number of drivers who argue with that. Still everyone else agrees. Community speedwatch is a joint venture between TfL, the public and the Met to cut speeds in London. TfL provides the money and the public and the Met provide the person-power. Today the public will be represented by Southwark Cyclist […]
One of our favourite places for a coffee break and a nose around. Michael Faraday was here! Start/finish at Deal Porter Square, next to Canada Water Library, opposite Canada Water Station. Cross river by Greenwich Foot tunnel, up through the Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf. Probably loop down to Barrier Park and take in […]
This is a drop-in not a course so what gets taught is pretty random. You bring the problems and the guys teach you how to fix them. This is the place to bring the bike covered in spiders which you found in your Mam’s shed. The guys like a challenge. They also do less intellectually […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be representing the law-abiding public and PCSO Kevin Phillips will be representing the forces of law-n-order (the Met). The information they collect is used by the Met traffic police to set up their own speed traps. The support they receive directly from the public encourages the Met to care just […]
Our annual ride round the locations in Southwark and Lambeth associated with Charlie Chaplin. 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. […]
Our volunteers will be on Sydenham Hill catching speeding drivers and showing the Met how it's done. What's not to like? You can join in. PCSO Kevin Phillips organises the schedule but he's very flexible if you have a blackspot in mind. Email him on kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk. He will be very pleased to hear from you […]
Start/finish at Southwark Gateway Needle. South East Corner of London Bridge at top of Duke St Hill. Note start point is next to London Bridge Station, easy to arrive/leave by train. Very nice lifts from platforms to street level. Free loos in the station. Route outwards via Tower Bridge, Cycleway 3, CW6, Euston and Regents […]
This is a drop-in not a course so what gets taught is pretty random. You bring the problems and the guys teach you how to fix them. This is the place to bring the bike covered in spiders which you found in your Mam's shed. They also do less long term stuff like "How do […]
Start-finish at Dulwich Clock Cafe, SE21 7BQ. Direct route to Forest Hill along the South Circular. Not our usual choice, but provides a quick passage. Exit park via the Roseberry Gate and use the shared-use pavement to Lordship Lane. Up Lordship Lane, past the Horniman Museum, down London Road using mostly cycle and bus lanes. […]
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 […]
