Easy-paced 2 hour ride, this one mostly quiet roads with a few path sections through parks. Some gentle hills, nothing extreme. The Quaggy meets the Ravensbourne close to Lewisham station where much new development is taking place. The opportunity has been taken to open up this built-in water feature as "Confluence Park". The ride will […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Bob Eva, the speedgun and his personal protection, PCSO Kevin Phillips will be at the junction of Lordship Lane and Court Lane. This is always a popular spot with the guys -- lots of law-breaking, as anyone who cycles through here can testify. It's a mutual protection society. Kevin protects Bob from […]
Idea is to explore a bit further west on the south side of the river. Burgess Park is on the west edge of Southwark, so the obvious place to start. Last did this ride on August 31st 2019, see report at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-august-sept-2019.html. Outward route will go via Vauxhall and Battersea Power Station to Battersea Park. […]
Run by Bruno on behalf of Southwark Cyclists in Camberwell Leisure Centre which has south-east London’s most memorable address, Artichoke Place SE5 8TS (see pic). The leisure centre is friendly, cheerful, accessible and welcoming. Bruno and the boys are the same. Everyone is welcome and no one pays. This is a drop-in not a course. […]

He will be protected by PCSO Kevin Phillips who writes down the numbers and makes of offending vehicles and arranges for TfL to send them rude letters. Those caught twice get more harsh treatment. They […]

Fed up with speeding? You can do something about it. Volunteer for Community Speedwatch. You can suggest times, dates and locations. The community volunteer holds the speedgun and a PCSO writes down the numbers and makes of offending vehicles. Then he sends the details to TfL who sends owners cross letters. If you think that […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be wielding the speedgun at the junction of Salter Road and Lagado Mews. With him will be PCSO Kevin Phillips. Bob shouts out the speeds, Kevin writes down the numbers and makes. You will not be surprised to know that in a two hour session they fill four pages of […]
Don't think we're picking on Salter Road or anything. It's just that our cycling volunteers specially object to speeding around here. The man with the gun for this second outing of the day on Salter Road will be Werner who runs some of our Saturday rides about Victorian engineers. This is always a popular spot […]
