Bike train to central London and beyond July 18th


Recommended Posts

The Bike Train is a guided ride from Peckham Rye and Nunhead Stations to central London. We use segregated cycle lanes, parks and backstreets to keep riders safe all the time. The ride leaves Nunhead at 7.45am, swings by Peckham Rye station at 7.55am and reaches the Thames at 8.30am. We don't go fast. I'm in front and kindly friends reckon I do 8mph (twice walking speed).


Quietway 1 is still the route of choice. London's best in fact arguably its only good Quietway. It's only ten minutes of green route and backstreet from Peckham town centre. Come with us and we'll show you how the most risk-averse can get to central London,?feathers fully unruffled.


QW1 crosses all the approach roads to the Thames bridges ? starting with Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge and finally Blackfriars. Riders can be taken to any one of them, take your pick and be taken on if you let us know in advance.


Any queries text me on 07842 640 207 or mail us on [email protected]. Everyone welcome. Return rides arranged on request. Most things arranged on request. Just ask. If this doesn't suit you but the idea of cycling to work does then think of trying our bike taxis which are a personalised, escorted ride to work.


All this stuff is organised by Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign which campaigns for more, safer cycling in London. Everything we do is free and you don't have to join anything. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk

    • We also just used Paul and his colleauge Damien to replace some fans, fix loose kitchen light, and check smoke detectors.  Straight forward, skilled and very decent guys.  Even tolerated some heckling from the kids.  
    • Went past yesterday there was one man skating. It was a good use of a derelict site, but hopefully it won’t be if Southwark Council  and Dulwich estates sort it out. Compulsory purchase anyone?
    • The younger (and some older) people have taken an unused unloved space and made it their own. Where do we think young people should go? I was involved in a campaign with a group of younger people a few years ago to get a skate park built. I was so shocked by the backlash and nastiness from a vocal 'adult' few. The young people themselves said that they are told they shouldn't spend all their time on screens and yet when they come together and do something that is physical that involves socialising and positive connection they get slated for it. The skating community is so welcoming and supportive. Come on people - see the bigger picture and the positives. They've made a good place to be out of nothing - they are recycling and building and being creative and social and entrepreneurial. I suggest we reflect on what the real issue is here.
