Tonights Tuesday Totter didn’t go quite to plan. Started by heading out to Greenwich via the Coldbath Egerton Drive route which entails crossing the railway over the Elverson Rd bridge, which I like to include now and again. Gives everyone a chance to practice their bike handling skills. Through the tunnel and out the other side, along the river, me trying to push it a little bit as I suspected… Read More »Tuesday Totter
The second Wednesday of the month workshop that we have been running for over a year will have to change to the second Thursday from this month (September). Although for this month only, changing from the second Wednesday to the nearest Thursday will mean we are not running a workshop on the 14th September, but on Thursday 15th September. Time and place still unchanged: Young Lewisham Project, 124, Kilmorie Rd,… Read More »Change to Wednesday evening Mend and Ride
Its the holiday month so lots of folk are away. At the same time we’re very busy with school holiday stuff. So we’ve been a bit stretched and have to cancel our August third Friday Mend and Ride. We are also attending Chinbrook Meadows Dog Show, with a Dr Bike, cycle jumble and information stall on the 21st August 11am to 4pm. Therefore our usual last Sunday of the month… Read More »Changes to August Mend and Ride
The forecast looked about as good as it could possibly be for a ride from London by night to the Suffolk coast. Warm, but not too warm, dry and a touch of a tail wind. So, my final decision, always made on the day, was to ride. However, had I not promised to lead a ride from Ladywell up to the start point I think I’d probably have crashed out… Read More »Dunwich Dynamo 2016: Back once more

The effects of austerity policies on local government spending have been felt all over Lewisham in may different departments. Roads and Transport have not escaped and it has become increasingly clear over the last couple of years or so, that the council was going to need even more encouragement if not an active a helping hand if we were ever to see a cycle strategy for the borough in the… Read More »At Last!

Lewisham Cyclists is extremely happy to announce that the council and Mayor have agreed to appoint Councillor Mark Ingleby as the borough’s cycling champion. Although this appointment still has to be formally ratified by the Mayor’s office, Councillor Ingleby, who represents Whitefoot ward, has already begun liaising with Lewisham Cyclists. We are pleased with his appointment, as we know Councillor Ingleby cycles regualrly and has a clear understanding of what’s… Read More »At last! A Cycling Champion for Lewisham!
I arrived at Le Delice early and as I breakfasted people began to arrive. By the time we were ready to leave there were 14 of us. Not bad for a January morning with rain forecast later on. It was good to see riders I had first met a while ago on rides last year, returning and keen as ever! We headed off down the good old Waterlink Way! We… Read More »Another Parks Ride
The forecast was pretty bad. Gale force winds with gusts up to 50mph, storm Desmond moving though during the day. So, I wasn’t surprised to find a much reduced group of merely six riders at Ladywell. We left promptly at 9am. I didn’t want to hang around as the weather, already very blustery, was scheduled to get worse in the afternoon. Fiona caught us as we entered Ladywell Fields… Read More »Two Counties Ride
