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. […] |

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 […]

Meet the team. From the left, my husband Bob, me (the bald one) and Andy who's in charge. Total age around 200 not including Eleanor. The red bike belongs to Eleanor who took the photo. Well, maybe it doesn't belong to her. Maybe she borrowed it. But still, come with us and learn off-road and […] |

The doctor doesn't look like this, of course, and neither do his bike health care assistants. But pictures of cheerful and friendly looking young women improve everything. No cycle marking, sorry, we're working on it. The different looking doctor and bike nurses will be fixing brakes, indexing gears, pumping up tyres and offering wise advice. […]

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 […] |
