This is my back. My best side. Come on the Bike Train and see more of it. We will be going via Quietway 1 -- London's best indeed only decent quietway. Just shows what can be done and a shame no one is trying to copy it. We set off at 7.45am from Nunhead station, […]
Welcome the new sun at sun rise at 04.43 BS 2018 on June 21st. In the Northern Hemisphere (where we are) the day of the summer solstice is the longest day of the year (the day with the most daylight and the shortest night). This year the sun will be at its highest at 11.07am […]
Our team of four is led by professional mechanic Charlie, with three ace amateurs, Andy, Mike and Bruno. Andy co-ordinates Southwark Cyclists (I'm not sure what that means but I think it must be a bit like herding cats) and Bruno co-ordinates HMG (ditto) When Andy, Mike and Bruno are baffled, I’m afraid they pass […]
Easy-paced ride using lots of quiet streets and paths. Starting at Deal Porter Square next to Canada Water Library and opposite the station. Plan is to ride to London Fields and Victoria Park in Hackney. Out over Southwark Bridge and across the City. Return via Regents Canal, Limehouse and Tower Bridge. Coffee stop in Victoria […]
Personal Bike Taxi from Westwood Hill to Champion Hill. All those hills. Your Bike Taxi will take you anywhere (even up and down hills). The rider requested "rusty and slow" cycling so we've provided our rustiest and slowest escort. To order a Bike Taxi for yourself mail southwark@lcc.org.uk and explain your requirements.
This is part of our series of personalised rides which do what it says on the tin and escort riders to where they want to go -- within reason folks, within reason. To arrange one for yourself or your BF contact southwark@lcc.org.uk. This one goes from East Dulwich station to the Tower of London. There […]
This is Charlie our professional mechanic. The pic makes him look shy. He isn't. He's very, very professional. Bring him your interesting problems. He likes a challenge and no one has yet brought him a problem he can't solve. Supporting him is our team of three amateur mechanics (amateur only in the sense that they […]
Clockwise loop to Peckham Rye Park, over to Ladywell Fields, south along Waterlink Way (NR21) to Cator Park. Then west through Penge into Crystal Palace Park, round past the dinosaurs, up to Crystal Palace Parade. Some short steep bits that can be walked. Finally lovely long downhill (Fountain Drive and College Road) back to Dulwich […]
Usual easy-paced ride starting and finishing in Deal Porter Square next to Canada Water Library. 9 miles along mostly quiet streets and paths, so suitable for pretty well any cyclist. Part of our regular Saturday morning Healthy Rides programme. The Mayor has announced funding for a new cycle route from Rotherhithe to Peckham. This ride […]
You too can cycle with the Bike Train. We're tending to use Quietway 1 rather than the route through Burgess Park. The new junction on the park route is a lot better but the on-pavement cycle lanes on the New Kent Road are unsuited to large groups (or indeed anyone) Quietway 1 OTOH is a […]
