We are short-staffed today just like the real railways but unlike them we are not cancelled. There is a shortage of station staff at the Peckham Rye Halt so there will be no one waiting for passengers at the bike stands behind McDonalds (see above) but fear not, Andy is on his way and at […]
Put these tools to work on your bike. The good Doctor and his attendant bike nurses will fettle your bike. They index gears, tighten brakes, pump up your tyres and warn you to clean your chain. Their bike health care assistants have maps, info, and lots of local cycling-related gossip. All this for your bike. It’s […]
Usual easy-paced ride. Plan is to head east and ride a section of National Route 4, including part of the Waterlink Way and Ladywell Fields. Out and back routes mostly road to save time.

The Bike Train leaves Denmark Hill Station from Windsor Walk, just outside the cafe (good coffee) and beside this big raised flower bed which is attempting to lower the stress of using Denmark Hill Station. Come with us and learn off-road and segregated routes to central London via Blackfriars. We bike-buddy riders to their final […]

From Cator Park follow NR21 north to Bells Green. Back […]
The Bike Train is named after the Brighton Bike Train which took students along the A23 from their halls of residence far away to their places of learning in the town. It’s a commuter ride leaving out the crush, the waiting, the heat and the congestion. We take about 35 minutes to get from Peckham […]
The doctor doesn't look anything like this of course but it's a media tradition that everything is improved with a picture of a good looking young woman and why should I resist. The three guys that do all the work are not actually bad to look at especially when they are working on your bike. […]
Canada Water-Lewisham Loop Usual easy-paced Saturday morning ride. Continuing our National Route 21 theme from the last 2 rides, will do the north-most section on this ride. Inland route to Brookmill Park then up and back along Waterlink Way (NR21) to Lewisham Leisure Centre. Return via Deptford Creek and riverside. Ride we previously did in […]
The Bike Train is a commuter ride leaving out the crush, the waiting, the heat and the congestion. We take about 35 minutes to get from Peckham Rye to Blackfriars Bridge and we do not go fast. I’m the pace-setter and I go about 8mph. Occasionally I overtake (small) children but I’m generally overtaken by […]
