social cycle rides Sat Dec 23rd and Boxing Day

Recommended Posts

Saturday's ride starts in Peckham Square and ventures up town to Look Mum No Hands -- the cyclists' favourite cafe on Old Street. Starts at 10am from Peckham Square (by Peckham Library, SE15 5JR)and returns two hours later.


Amanda will be leading and the route probably as last time at

It will be usual easy-paced ride with time for a coffee at LMNH. This is the last Saturday Ride in 2017, so come and join us for a seasonable ride. Decorated bikes welcome! Christmas lights, Santa hats -- decorate yourself too.


By Boxing Day the whole staying-in-and-watching-the-TV-in-the-warm thing starts to wear off so try our December 26th special. It's led by Werner starting 10am from Canada Water Library, opposite CW Station, SE16 7AR


All details await finalisation. Come to Canada Water and take a gentle, 2 hour ride somewhere or other. Burn off a few of yesterday?s calories and build up an appetite for Boxing Day lunch. Everyone welcome.


Please note no ride on Dec 30th. After these 2 rides, we will be into 2018 with the first Saturday ride at Dulwich on January 6th. Seasons Greetings to all our riders and looking forward to seeing you on one of these 2 rides and in 2018.

I've been told that Look Mum No Hands closes on Friday and re-opens in the new year so there will be no coffee-drinking there on this ride.


So they are going to Rapha Cafe in Spitalsfield instead. Rapha do upmarket cycling kit and have a "serious" club and sponsor 2 racing teams. There will be time for a coffee and a bit of a look round.


Amanda still leading and will use some of the route to LMNH. Those who have been to LMNH will be intrigued by the very different cultures in the 2 cafes. Ride length and start/finish location and times all unchanged. So still Peckham Square, 10-12.

    • 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?
    • Still taking bookings for November/December, Please call 07885537463 for any enquiries 
    • 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.
