Recommended Posts

We escort you from Nunhead and Peckham Rye to central London. Safe all the way. We leave Nunhead Station at 7.45am; Peckham Rye Station at 7.55am and arrive at Blackfriars at 8.30am. From there we can take you on to your final destination (please give advance warning if you need this). No charge, no tests of any sort. Turn up and go. The ride leaves Peckham Rye station from the bike stands behind McDonalds.


If this sort of thing doesn't suit you -- you don't work on Wednesdays or you don't have to be in work till 11am the we also do Bike Taxis. Info here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/bike-taxi-underway/


The Bike Train will be using Quietway 1 -- currently London's best Quietway, direct, filtered, traffic-calmed and generally highly recommended. It passes close through central Southwark but finding it can be tricky. Transport for London doesn't feel cyclists should be signposted to it (I don't understand this POV). So you have to be on it before you know it's there. Never mind we can show you how to find it -- the route to QW1 is also very safe, filtered, traffic-calmed etc.


Everyone is welcome. The weather forecast is not bad :). Warmer than recently certainly. We can help you come home in the evening -- getting back again is an important part of bike-travel. There are no rules/stipulations or charges except it helps to tell us you are coming. Text me on 07842 640 207. That's it.

    • And the Sainsbury’s own brand chocolate mini rolls have gone from £1.15 to £1.40 overnight, so 22%-ish. I prefer them them to the Cadbury original because they have a lot more chocolate on them, presumably because they’re made in a less advanced factory. I would think that getting the Rizla thin coating of chocolate that Cadbury’s accountants demand onto a piece of sponge is quite a sophisticated operation. Discuss.
    • Another recommendation for Leon. He was able to come out to our electrical elergency within 24 hours of me contacting him. His communication was great and whilst he could not solve our problem, he was able to perform tests to identify this and did so quickly and efficiently. He charging  is very fair and his manner very pleasant. Both of these in contrast to some experiences I have had elsewhere.    happy to put my name to recommending Leon. His number is  07707 925039.
    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
