Burgess Park is 140 acres of seriously nice. It's a young park, built since the War by planners who believed that recreation and green space were essential parts of life. Quietway 7 runs across from Benhill St in Camberwell to Portland St. The tricky bit has been crossing Albany Road to get to Portland but traffic […]
This one is on Barry Road at its junction with Upland Road. Bob Eva is the volunteer. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters from TfL the first time and even the second time. It’s only the third one who gets forwarded to the police. They get a getting-serious letter that includes a fine. So […]
This is Mike. He stopped by one day, joined in and since then has turned up every time. I'm told that his day job is re-designing the world to make it more bike friendly. A big job but he will be up to it. With Charlie, Bruno and Andy he makes up the Dr Bike […]
Harry, who is leading this one, has worked out another great route. A 9.5 mile, flat ride. Starts along Surrey canal path, around the back turnings to reach Burgess park, then via Bagshot street to the New Kent road. Stops at Newington Gardens (Location of Horsemonger Lane Goal), Angel Place (Location of Marshalsea Prison), Bear […]
To celebrate London Car-Free Day the north end of Bermondsey Street from White's Grounds to Saint Thomas St will be closed to traffic and opened up to the community. From 12 noon lots of bike related activities. Bikes that make smoothies, cycling entertainers, led bike rides, cargo bikes to try out. Plus local history walks; […]
At the junction of Southwark Bridge Road and Sawyer Street. Bob Eva is our volunteer. Drivers caught speeding get tut tut letters the first time and even the second time. It’s only the third one that includes a fine. So therefore teams have to go to the same place again (and again). Enough to catch […]
A fifth Saturday, so an extra + ride. New start location, Southwark Needle on corner of London Bridge and Duke St Hill (SE1 2SX). Allows us to ride farther north of the river. There are toilets on London Bridge Station nearby, and of course you can take the train to/from the start. All those nice […]
Our volunteers will be out with PCSO Kevin Phillips on Half Moon Lane pointing their speed guns at speeding drivers. To join them mail kevin.j.p.hillips@met.pnn.police.uk. Community-spirited and fun
Our Man From the Met, Kevin Phillips, will be taking down the details while a Southwark Cyclist volunteer holds the speed gun. They will be on Dog Kennel Hill near its junction with Quorn Road. Nicely placed to catch those drivers speeding down the hill to jump the lights before the bridge.
The headline is not entirely accurate. As so often -- it's a lot more complicated than that. If it is raining the mechanics will be under the Arch, sheltering. If it is not raining and looks reasonably likely to stay that way they may well be at the foot of the steps beside the ramp. […]
