The incoming recession seems to be reducing the amount of traffic and increasing the proportion of bad drivers. A Southwark Cyclist volunteer will have them in his sights on Salter Road. You can join in. Email kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk and volunteer. He will be delighted to hear from you and will take your views on where-and-when to […]
This is our AGM. There's a big changeover of staff ahead so come and welcome the new faces. You will need a card to vote but it doesn't usually come to that. It's more like a family party without the in-fighting. We hope to have a speaker to add a bit of interest and there […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
