Great to meet all of the lovely folk who joined our feeder ride to this event in Central London. I hope you enjoyed riding into the event with us as much as we enjoyed running the ride in. We must have been the only feeder ride with a marshal on a penny farthing! Thanks to Russ for bringing along his beautifully made ride and making it look so easy, no… Read More »London FreeCycle

Unfortunately, I can’t manage to run an afterworker tonight. Probably won’t be able to until the 25th. Which is a shame as the upcoming weather looks to be beautiful. Nothing to stop the rest of you riding off into the sunset after work, though! If things change, I may post an impromptu evening ride up- so watch this space or the FB page. Or the Yahoo group elists.
See, here are a few Lewisham Cyclists enjoying our wonderful Peaks of Lewisham ride. The 2012 version anyway- gazing at the stunning view from Telegraph Hill, the first of many on that particular ride. I am more than a little annoyed that I forgot my camera this year, because the views were probably the best we have had yet. Magical, setting sun casting it’s ever deepening golden glow over the… Read More »Get out on Your Bike, Lovely Weather. Even the Rain Feels Good
It’s only a few weeks since we posted some words in memory of one young man, killed by a dangerous driver on a Lewisham street, Olatunji Johnson Adeyanju, (also known as T.J) and the bravery and dignity of his family even in their grief. And now another family, on another stretch of our borough’s roads, face the same sorrow and suffering, another young man gone. We always struggle to find the right words… Read More »Tragic News
Must be about the fourth time we have done this ride- it’s becoming a Bike Week classic. 20 of us at Cutty Sark Gardens. A good number aged from ten to about 60, diverse group of cyclists, set off on a fine summer evening. Everyone pootled through the back streets and pleasant bit of the Waterlink Way, then our first and least picturesque ascent, Friendly St. Our youngest member decided… Read More »Peaks of Lewisham 20th June 2013
Ride report: Midsummer Madness 2013 Cloudy skies failed to dampen enthusiasm for this year’s nighttime ride to greet the solstice dawn. More than 50 cyclists assembled in Cutty Sark Gardens on Friday morning for a 2am departure westwards towards Southwark Needle, where we collected another 35 or so, making it a Barry-100 in total (there is only one significant figure). There were certainly in excess of 100 at Bar Italia… Read More »Midsummer Madness 2013
It’s that time of year again. Long, light evenings. Warm nights with any luck. Just the time for a long ride on quiet country lanes from London to the coast. It’s Dunwich Dynamo time! This year, Lewisham Cyclists will be leading a short feeder to get you to the traditional starting point, the Pub on the Park in Hackney Fields. Details of that are on our rides page. We might… Read More »Dunwich Dynamo July 20 2013: The Countdown Begins
