sociable cycle rides and picnic June 10th


Recommended Posts

Reminder. There are reports on rides on the Southwark Cyclists web site. Usually photos and a route map. Map allows you – or anyone – to try the ride themselves. 

Jun 10th, 12.30 at Southwark Park Bandstand we are holding a Southwark Cyclists Picnic to celebrate BIKE WEEK. There will be a few slightly competitive cycling games suitable for all ages. The contest to be the slowest cyclist is always close.  Everyone is invited including non-cycling friends and family.  Note this is not the same as our other picnic which is held jointly with Lets Go (Bexley), Greenwich Cyclists and other groups that do social rides (provisionally set for August 12th in Greenwich Park). 

We will have one ride on Saturday starting in Dulwich and ending at the picnic. Please register for this on Eventbrite so we have some idea of numbers, link: < https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dulwich-to-southwark-park-picnic-ride-tickets-650236674397 > 

Ride Details.10am Start at Dulwich Clock Café, in the middle of Dulwich Park. Bruce leading. Exit by Court Lane gate then LCN 5 (includes Crystal Palace Rd) to Rye Lane and Peckham Square.

    • There is also one for Goose green https://www.police.uk/pu/your-area/metropolitan-police-service/goose-green/?yourlocalpolicingteam=your-team Disclaimer: only passing on what I have found by searching. No involvement in organising it.  
    • It is a challenge.  These sorts of services are increasingly expensive to deliver as fewer and fewer people use them.  Most people don't want to have to go back to using their lunch hour to queue up at the bank or Post Office.  So the options  are - reduce the service, make it more expensive or the tax payer subsidises it.  
    • 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.
