sociable free cycle rides Sat April 15th


Recommended Posts

On April 15th we have 2 rides. One 2½ - 3 hours, one 4 hours. Note that the longer ride (Cody Dock) starts early at 9.30. 

Ride 1. Murals and Graffiti. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/graffiti-and-murals-in-south-london-southwark-healthy-ride-tickets-613468218957 >   

10am start from Peckham Square (next to Peckham Library and Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5RY). Bruce leading and hoping to be back at Peckham Square between 12.30 and 1pm.  Route heads west to the Leake Street (Banksy) Tunnel under Waterloo Station. This is Graffiti Central! If you have never seen it – well it is something else. Then a nice long ride east via the new mural at “The Blue”, Bermondsey and Folkstone Gardens, where we will have a brief coffee stop at the Honle (Festa) café. In Deptford will pass more graffiti followed by a couple of interesting murals.

Our route will involve getting through the Saturday market on Douglas Way. We may have to walk some of this. Back to Peckham via the History mosaic on the Old Kent Rd. If time will detour up to Copeland Park. This is a new route – should be eye opening. More about the stops on this route on the attached information sheet.

Ride 2. Canada Water to Cody Dock. < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/canada-water-to-cody-dock-cycle-ride-tickets-613471107597

9.30 start (not usual 10am) from Canada Water (Deal Porter Square, opposite CW Station, SE16 7AR). Amanda leading a cross river circuit to Cody Dock. Cody Dock is run as a charitable Social Enterprise with the aim of regenerating the dock and surrounding waterways (see https://codydock.org.uk). What has been created is very unique. And it includes a Cafe where we will take a break. We are trying a new route this year using different river crossings. Outward will go to the Cable Car at the O2 via the Thames path, then Excel Centre and City Airport, Beckton Park, Greenway and Three Mills. Return will head for Canary Wharf and catch the short ferry to the Doubletree (Hilton) hotel, then across Russia Woodland to Canada Water. Riders will need to pay fares on both crossings. So bring Travel Card etc. Cable car full fare is £5, ferry is £5.20. Aim to be back by 1.30pm. 

These rides are organised by Southwark Cyclists and are part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/. Southwark Cyclists are part of the London Cycling Campaign. This ride is organised by volunteers. If you have any feedback, good or bad, please get in touch with [email protected].

    • Surely increasing profits are not the reason? It's more about  preventing massive losses? You can't keep things going at vast expense because a few people still use them. We would still be in the stone age. There are always going to be some people who find it hard to use "modern" technology (which has been going for decades). I would have thought the answer was for those people to learn how to do the things they need to do? I'm sure lots of help must be available?  I'm one of the ancient ones, and around the end of the nineties I went on a free course to be taught how to go online and use the internet. It was quite a steep learning curve, but so is learning anything new. So in previous years was learning to use a PC and word processing. So was learning Excel and spreadsheets.  If you need to use something, you have to learn how to do it! Some people may not have the mental  capacity to do this, but in that case surely they will be getting support in other areas of their daily life already? And as regards the possible  closure of the crown post office (note - possible) we don't know what alternative arrangements may be made should this happen, so it seems a bit premature to be protesting about it at this point.
    • Hello, I'm Fran, an award-winning family photographer based in Dulwich, specialising in candid photography for families, children and newborns. My photoshoots are fun, relaxed and unposed, capturing beautiful photos of real family life. My photos have been seen in Vogue and Grazia.  For purchase during the Christmas period only, I have just launched my annual Christmas voucher promotion for a 1 hour family photoshoot at home and 10 edited high-resolution digital photographs for only £250. You can enjoy this to update your family photos next year, or gift it to others.  With £45 off my standard session fee, this is a real bargain. I have issued 5 sessions at this price, and there are only 2 left to buy! Grab yours here! Thanks, Fran
    • Just in case you do get a cheque you can pay it into your Monzo account or similar by taking a photo of the cheque in the app v easily.  I know my bank's app didn't work but that's probably the exception.  I have to say that if and when people gift me money in any form I'm always really appreciative and never get irritated.  But for those that are not tech savvy of whatever age, brain power or other reason, a face to face encounter may be preferable but becoming increasingly impossible so that company profits can be increased. 
    • I'm in my early 40s and I am not sure anyone (aprt from HMRC) has sent me money in cheque form for at least 20 years.  I would be slightly irritated to get a cheque as I would have to find time to pay it in.  I can well imagine a young adult being pretty baffled by a cheque.  Many don't even bank with places that have physical branches.
