Exploring Dulwich Usual easy-paced ride on mostly quiet roads and paths. Meet Pavilion Cafe, Dulwich Park. Start up to Dawsons Heights for the view. Next across to Dulwich Hamlet football stadium and down Greendale to Dulwich Village. Continuing south past Dulwich Picture Gallery and Dulwich College to the only Toll Gate in London. Then loop […]
Cycle campaigning is simpler than you think, but we need volunteers. Southwark Council and TfL won't act without evidence that local people want cycling improvements. We need a bigger team to help us build cycling in Southwark and gather evidence that people support Space for Cycling. You can be a resident, employee or business, and […]
Calling all film stars. Join the celebrated Bike Train. We're getting so famous that National Geographic want to film us. I'm not entirely sure why. I haven't been photogenic for a long time. Some of our riders are cute I suppose (male and female). The route is very good-looking but not their usual sort of […]
Usual easy-paced ride on quiet roads and paths (mostly). Meet Canada Water Library (opposite station). Out via Southwark Park, Deptford Park, New Cross (shared use pavements) to Hilly Fields. Back down to new Leisure Centre in Lewisham, then National Route 21 through Brookmill Park, Quietway 1 to the end of Childers St, across to South […]
Cycling away from Peckham Library on the Surrey Canal Path. It gets quite a bit busier than this in the rush hours of course. About 1000 cyclists come up here in the morning and one assumes that the same number come back in the evening only slightly more spread out (having gone to the pub, […]
As part of Southwark Cyclists bid for world domination we have been thinking of copying Hackney. They have a Family Cycling Library of bikes useful for families, carrying children, babies, toddlers, and lots and lots of shopping -- bike seats, trailers, cargobikes, tagalongs and other bits of family cycling equipment – all free to borrow. […]

The accompanying elves are pretty wise too though a lot more modest. Get these tools to work on your bike in London’s most skilled hands. Dr Bike and his expert team will fine-tune […]
Ride around gardens in the City, leader Werner. No route details yet but probably a Canada Water start. Check back closer to date for more info.
This is one of London's largest and little-known parks. There's 140 acres of it. Cyclists can use it but mysteriously not a lot do. Burgess Park and the Canal Path make up about a third of the Bike Train route. The segregated cycle lanes are about another third and traffic calmed backstreets are the final […]
Butterfly Ride from Peckham Square A repeat of last year’s Big Butterfly Count Ride, which was "highly commended" at last year's LCC Awards. Anticlockwise loop through Peckham Rye Park, Ruskin Park, Elam Street Open Space, Myatts Field and Burgess Park. Given decent weather, usually find a range of butterflies including "cabbage" whites and quite a […]
