Jeremy Leach of Southwark Living Streets and a 20s Plenty campaigner will be holding the speedgun at the junction of Southwark Bridge Road and Sawyer Street. The signs on the road say 20. They are big enough. Somehow drivers find them hard to see. You can join in. To become a Community Speedwatch Volunteer mail […]
That's 51mph in a 20mph zone. Top speed so far 66mph. Speeding drivers claim to be the best judge of their own speed and (anyway) if it mattered the police would do something about them. The police meanwhile warm and snug in their cars, unaware that drivers are on their best behaviour all round them, […]
This ride starts at 9.30am from Peckham Square and turns at Severndroog Castle (see pic) on top of Shooters Hill. It ends back in Peckham at 1pm. That's an earlier start and a later finish than usual and Severndroog Castle is 20m higher than the top of Sydenham Hill which was the previous summit. A new […]

You can bring your bike in for a free check-up; come and learn the basics of bike maintenance, or just drop in for a chat about anything bike-related. The whole operation is free […]

Route at https://gb.mapometer.com/cycling/route_4850794.html. As far as possible on paths and quiet streets, but likely to be some short busy stretches and a few busy junctions. Several short stops at interesting […]

Communities involved in sustainability; recycling; food growing; clean energy; plastic free living are promoting their projects at an […]
Show the Met the community cares about speeding. I'm sure we all do. Community Speedwatch is a collaboration between the community (us) and the police (PCSO Kevin Phillips and friends). The community volunteer -- in this case Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva -- holds the speed gun and the Met writes down the numbers and sends […]

College Rd to Crystal Palace Park, (some walking allowed for in the ride timing). Then down through the park to the dinosaurs. Return […]
This one is on Southwark Bridge Road near the junction with Sawyer St. Starring Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva and PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic). Wave as you go by or stop and have a chat if you think you might like to try it yourself

The idea is to fix bikes while showing how to do it and encouraging people to try for themselves. It's not a course. What gets […]
