AKA the Bike Train this escorted ride leaves Nunhead Station at 7,45am, swings by Peckham Rye Station (pick up point at the bike stands behind McDonalds) at 7.55am and arrives at Blackfriars Bridge at 8.30am (we are that slow). Please let us know if you are coming with and specially let us know if you want to be taken on from the river. My phone no is 07842 640 207 and texting is the best way to get me.


We will be using the route through Burgess Park which is 140 acres of seriously nice (pic attached). It?s a young park, built since the War by planners who believed that recreation and green space were essential parts of life. The tricky bit has been crossing Albany Road to get to Portland but traffic engineers have built a very safe crossing with segregated space and its own traffic lights to take cyclists safely across. We will be using them on the Bike Train.


Our route takes us up a greenway, through Burgess Park, up Portland St, onto the New Kent Road cycling by-pass and up the protected bike lane on Blackfriars to Blackfriars Bridge. it?s off-road, protected or traffic-calmed all the way. No road sharing with juggernauts, buses or homicidal maniacs in cars too small for their egos. Safe all the way.


We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. To ride with us you don?t need to be a member or live in Southwark. This is a no-questions-asked operation. Please let us know if you are coming. Everyone welcome. If the Bike Train doesn?t suit you, ask about our Bike Taxis ? your free personal escort to work.

    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond
    • 5* for Joseph but first thanks to everyone here recommending him! He was indeed superb, reassuring, punctual and unfussed. He disposed some of my old Furnitures today. Great value service.   Thank you, Joseph.
