I put the train-assisted bit up front to remind anyone planning to come to bring their Oyster/contactless cards with them. The ride was planned a month ago to go via Haggerston but those planned engineering works keep on coming and the line from Highbury and Islington to Shadwell will be shut on Saturday, wiping out the Haggerston arm at a stroke.

So instead the ride will meet at Canada Water library (SE16 7AR) at 10am and (as previously planned) take the Overground which is very good for bikes (spacious lifts and trains every 3-4 minutes) but this time to Shadwell. After that riders will head across to Mile End, partly on an upgraded CS2. The new route has interesting points of its own and goes though Queen Mary Campus and across the new Meath Bridge over the Regents Canal.

Then Regents Canal itself and Wapping Thameside as before. At Limehouse the ride will follow the Thames upstream to Tower Bridge. Then cross Tower Bridge and follow NR4 along the south bank back to Canada Water. Easy, flat, ride almost entirely on quiet roads and paths. Back to Canada Water at noon.

  I believe they can enhance the CCTV footage with facial recognition software. Whether they deploy that for a local mugging is anyone's guess, but it's captured in news articles they use it at airports, demonstrations and football matches. Be nice if they compelled the person they caught to make some sort of restitution to the victim. One day last week I saw a bunch of guys in orange hi viz vests in Dulwich Park cleaning up leaves - the vests had Community Payback (or something similar, can't remember exaclty) written on the back. On 1 hand I was like "that's good" but on the other hand I thought the slogan on the back was a bit demeaning. In my mind, the fear of god to make you rethink your life choices should be inculcated during the police/charging/judicial process where what you once thought was just a harmless mugging/shoplifting/vandalism etc. is in fact wrong and taken seriously by experienced professionals who are there to clamp down on these things. That should be what's in the forefront of a person's mind -- not "oh no I might have to wear that hi viz vest again"....

  I parked on Grove Vale this morning, registering my car for the free half hour and it was going to charge me 40p! I tried 20 mins and same. What’s going on?

  Post Boris the Conservatives aimed to raise the number of police but having paid some to retire early and paid redundancy that must have been a huge waste of public money, only to U turn.. Anyway here's hoping for more and better community policing, especially at times when crime is higher such as just after school finishes. CCTV is a known deterrent. Police have mentioned that many times when we or neighbours and friends have been victims of crime. Even disguised criminals can be tracked that way.
