Cycle to Work specials April 26th: with prizes :)


Recommended Posts

Southwark Cyclists is running a Cycle to Work (Cycle2Work ? C2W) day on April 26th 2017. We want more people who work in Southwark to cycle to work, cutting pollution for those who live here and clearing the roads for essential journeys.


On the great day there will be three key activities. Two Bike Trains instead of one in the morning and a Dr Bike in the evening.


One Bike Train is the usual one from Nunhead to Blackfriars. It will be leaving at the slightly later time of 7.50am, calling at Peckham Rye Statin (from the bike stands behind McDonalds) and arriving at Blackfriars around 8.40am.


The this-day-only one goes from North Dulwich through Denmark Hill to London Bridge. Again leaving North Dulwich 7.50am and arriving at London Bridge at the St Thomas' Street entrance around 8.40am. Meet us at the junction of Townley Road and Greendale at 07.50am. We pass through Denmark Hill Station on our way so to be picked up there text Liz Eden on 07814 515 715.


If you want to practice the route on a day off, some lovely people have written a local history guide which is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/all-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-the-bike-train-route/. (If you practice the route on foot, we won?t mind!)The route of both rides is here:



And Dr Bike will be fixing bikes in Tooley Street, (next to the London Bridge Experience), on the great day. He will be there from 17.30 to 19.30 light and weather permitting. If you miss him on the 26th don't worry. He will be back every month through the summer until the weather gets too cold. He's coming on: 24th May, 28th June, 26th July, 23rd August, 27th September


Southwark Council, Better Bankside and Team London Bridge are encouraging their staff to take part so if you work for any of them you should know all about it. I know I mentioned prizes in the title and I shall do some more research to find out more about them. Watch this space (and get your bike ready)


More info on the virtues of cycling and links here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/cycle2work/. Also you can contact me or the co-ordinator Andy Cawdell (who is running the whole thing) on southwark at lcc.org.uk. (substitute @ for the at to make it work) or text Sally on 07842 640 207.

There was no info in my previous email about the prizes because I didn't know anything about them.


I'm now told they are Jeremy Deller t-shirts. Jeremy Deller is a reasonable famous artist whose website http://jeremydeller.org describes him as a "British artist known for works on political and social themes."


so roll up and claim yours -- or alternatively just cycle to work with us. Cycling makes you happy, keeps you healthy, and costs nothing.
