Reduce, re-use, re-cycle. How about Repair? This is a skill-sharing event and we will be sending our pro-mechanic to share his skills and teach other people to fettle their bikes. This is a community event to draw on skills in the community to mend stuff and get stuff mended. My grandad used to mend his […]
A Southwark Cyclist volunteer will be standing beside the road with a speed gun and a PCSO in full uniform beside him. Both of them have to wear hi-vis (because rules). Still drivers don't spot them. Just bear that in mind when you are wondering if a driver has seen you or not. To join […]
An undulating (might be considered "a bit hilly") route on mostly quiet streets through Tulse Hill. Round the west part of the Streatham Common then up to the Rookery Cafe where if time a coffee break. Return up through the common to Leigham Court Rd then quiet streets to Norwood Park. Detour slightly to criss-cross […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Werner from the Healthy Rides is holding the speedgun for this session in his favourite hunting ground in Salter Road. Last time out they got four sheets of car numbers in an hour and Werner clocked a personal best of 60mph. You can join in. Email kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk or read more about it […]
This is a drop-in not a course so what gets taught is pretty random. You bring the problems and the guys teach you how to fix them. This is the place to bring the bike covered in spiders which you found in your Mam’s shed. They also do less long term stuff like “How do […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Bob Eva will be under the protection of PCSO Kevin Phillips as he wields the speedgun near the junction of Village Way and Half Moon Lane. Speeding seems to be as popular as ever and the diminished visibility isn't putting anyone off. You can join in: mail Kevin on Kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk or read […]
Easy paced ride to see how far we can get along the Thames path heading east. Thames path is now all open again after building work. Some of the best cycle track you will ever see, but also some very narrow bits. Care needed on these stretches and giving way to pedestrians. Hope to get […]

We'll be asking him about progress on major cycle routes in Southwark, the recent changes in cycleway standards, and how campaigners can be more effective in getting safe routes. Spaces are limited, so please register if you'd like to attend. We […]
Meet at the Southwark Needle (located on SE corner of London Bridge, at top of Duke St Hill, adjacent to London Bridge Station) for a 3.5 hour easy ride to Walthamstow. Waltham Forest Borough Council have won a hat full of awards for their "Mini-Holland" project to improve walking and cycling (good info on Waltham […]
Run by Bruno (see pic taken on a warmer day) on behalf of Southwark Cyclists in Camberwell Leisure Centre which has south-east London’s most memorable address, Artichoke Place SE5 8TS. The leisure centre is friendly, cheerful, accessible and welcoming. Bruno and the boys are the same. Everyone is welcome and no one pays. This is […]
Easy-paced 2 hour ride, this one mostly quiet roads with a few path sections through parks. Some gentle hills, nothing extreme. The Quaggy meets the Ravensbourne close to Lewisham station where much new development is taking place. The opportunity has been taken to open up this built-in water feature as "Confluence Park". The ride will […]
Southwark Cyclists' volunteer Bob Eva, the speedgun and his personal protection, PCSO Kevin Phillips will be at the junction of Lordship Lane and Court Lane. This is always a popular spot with the guys -- lots of law-breaking, as anyone who cycles through here can testify. It's a mutual protection society. Kevin protects Bob from […]
Idea is to explore a bit further west on the south side of the river. Burgess Park is on the west edge of Southwark, so the obvious place to start. Last did this ride on August 31st 2019, see report at http://healthyrider.weebly.com/healthy-ride-reports-august-sept-2019.html. Outward route will go via Vauxhall and Battersea Power Station to Battersea Park. […]
