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 […]
At our not-so-new venue at 41 Grosvenor Park SE5 0NH (see picture below). It’s much more respectable than it looks. Coming from Burgess Park, cross Camberwell New Road and proceed in an westerly direction along Urlwin Street, under the railway bridges, left at the end and straight on into the cul-de-sac in front of you. Very […]

This is Andy, boss of Southwark Cyclists and the man who makes the money that pays Dr Bike. With Charlie (see July 5th) Bruno and Mike he's part of the Dr Bike team. "Four great guys" as one satisfied customer said. Only three today because Bruno is on holiday. They index your gears, tighten your […]

We are leading a ride to the London Freecycle which is a brilliant opportunity to get the whole family together to experience the fun and freedom of cycling on traffic-free roads in central London. It's part of a festival of cycling led by the Mayor of London. Bits of it are remarkably silly. The route takes in […]
This is a leisurely easy-paced ride along the Thames Path from the Cutty Sark to the High Tor of Thamesmead. The High Tor isn't very high because few places on the Thames flood plain are high but on a clear day you can see the whole of south-east London from the top. Real name for […]
