This is a national cycling and walking protest & die-in against the government & Parliament before the autumn budget. It's organised by Stop Killing Cyclists, who base their approach on the very successful Stop the Child Murders die-ins in Holland, during the early 70s, which were the catalyst for the transformation of Holland into the most bike-friendly […]
Our man with a speed gun will be Werner backed up by Kevin the man from the Met. They will be at the junction of Long Lane and Staple St from 10-12 noon when all God-fearing and law-abiding people are in church.
This is a map of Quietway 1, London's best quietway. Lots of people like it. The numbers of people using it are increasing every year as riders tell their friends. We’re tending to use Quietway 1 for the Bike Train these days rather that the traditional route. This is mostly because Quietway 1 is a […]
The grey hair (see pic) is not compulsory, just a steady hand, at least one good eye and a strong dislike of speeding drivers. Cyclists score well on these points and Southwark Cyclists volunteers are supporting community speedwatch in Southwark under the guidance of PCSO Kevin Phillips. To volunteer mail Kevin on kevin.j.phillips@met.pnn.police.uk

Four mechanics, one pro and three ace amateurs, will be mending bikes, indexing gears, tightening brakes, pumping up tyres, fixing that squeak […]

It is surprisingly easy to take a bike on the Emirates Airline cable car at North Greenwich (although you do have to pay - £3.50 with Oyster Card etc). Route will go from the Airline […]

Easy-paced ride on mostly quiet streets to Look Mum No Hands in Old St. This is the original cycle-cafe in the City and is a popular destination for a ride. Unusually for a 2 hour ride we will stop for a coffee at LMNH. Flat route […]
Meet outside Prince William Henry, 216-219 Blackfriars Rd, London SE1 8NL for an enjoyably grumpy look at Southwark's Quietways. The leader will be Sean Howes a large, cheerful, determined bloke on a green Bromption. The group will cycle the section of QW14 in Southwark and then loop back up the section of QW1 before heading […]
