London's green spaces have always been valuable for cycling and this ride celebrates 5 of our local parks - Burgess, Ruskin, Brockwell, Dulwich and Peckham Rye. Indeed London is now the world's first National Park City, a recognition of just how green it is and a challenge to keep it so. We have done this […]
Southwark Cyclists volunteer Robert Eva will be out with a speedgun hoping not to better the previous top speed registered by CRW of 66mph (see pic). His personal protection officer PCSO Kevin Phillips will be standing beside him writing down the numbers of law-breakers. There are so many they give poor, old Kevin a sore […]
This is a route we have done several times, most recently in February with snow on the ground in Crystal Palace Park (see photo with ride report at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-jan-march2019.html). Should be no risk of snow in early November! Propose to ride clockwise. Start across to Peckham Rye Park then over the hill at Nunhead and […]
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 […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be wielding the speedgun at the junction of Village Way and Half Moon Lane. There are special prizes for catching motorbikes (often going too fast to catch). The public are very supportive (as you might expect). To join in email kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk (see pic at the top). He will be very […]
Our annual trip to ride some of the procession route for the Lord Mayor's Show. There is a window after the roads are closed but before the floats and coaches etc get going. Ride leader Werner is an expert at picking the right moment. Usually get to see a bit of the parade. Lots of […]
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 […]
