The cycling hypermaniacs who organise Southwark Cyclists holiday rides never stop. There's another one on the 28th and this time the weather forecast is, if not precisely good, certainly a lot less off-putting.


This one starts at 9.30am in Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR)and ends in the same place at 1pm. The cycle route from East Dulwich is here: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/132834. I've started it from East Dulwich Station but you can change it to a more convenient starting place. I think you need to register to save your maps but this is a very user-friendly map-maker and very knowedgeable about bike routes.


Werner, who led the Boxing Day ride (see what's on passim) feels that it will not have metabolised all the turkey so proposes at + ride for the last Saturday of the year. Route ideas are sketchy at the moment, but may include a big loop incorporating Greenwich, Q14 to the South Bank then Q1 back. Leave Q1 for Falmouth Rd and Q7 (CW17?) to Burgess Park and a preview of some of the Spine route. Not many hills :)


We will proceed at our usual stately pace with a coffee stop about half way. A lot of quiet streets and avoiding any too-busy tarmac. What?s not to like?


This ride is organised by Bruce Lynn and friends (this is where Werner fits in) on behalf Southwark Cyclists. We are the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign. The LCC campaigns for more bike-friendly roads across London and we concentrate on the same thing in Southwark. The whole series are called Healthy Rides because they help you to be healthy but more than that they get you out of the house, meeting people and gaining confidence on your bike and the road.


You can contact Southwark Cyclists on [email protected], tweet us @southwarkcycle; or text Bruce on 07729 279 945. Our website is here: https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk, the LCC website is here: https://lcc.org.uk. All our stuff is free and open to everyone no matter where you live. Enjoy.

    • Round-robin letter received this week regarding this. Main points are that the number of new homes is being reduced from 877 to 867. OK, not much change there, but.... "A reduction in the number of affordable homes from 270 (35% by habitable room) to 77 (12% by habitable room)" That's a 72% reduction in the number of affordable homes. I don't know a lot about this kind of thing, but it seems that just 77 affordable homes in a development of 867 is a massive pee-take in an area where a 1-bed flat is £400K+ if it isn't "affordable." If you're interested, the application can be viewed at https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/ ref 24/AP/2074 and there's a lot of objections to the reduction in affordable homes. The drop-in sessions are Weds 26th Feb (Peckham Library) and Mon 3rd March (All Saints Church) at 3pm. Full details attached. 24_AP_2074-FILE_COPY_-_NEIGHBOUR_NOTIFICATION_LIST-4005193.pdf
    • I noticed 4 gone in a short stretch of Bellenden Road alone this weekend. I had no idea it was to do with the tech and thought that it was a retro Beastie Boys thing. Showing my age. Sorry I can only find a Facebook link if you are too young to remember this: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=578367166664170 Totally agree that it's a bad design flaw, and I bet the actual cost of the parts to VW is minimal so they could easily cough up some of the replacement costs. It's depressing that someone can go along a street popping these things off cars with very little worry about being prosecuted.
