Well TfL think so. When they redesigned this junction with the A2 a couple of years or so ago, it was even worse. They removed the dedicated green light for Deal’s Gateway, which now had to share the green phase with traffic emerging from Greenwich High Rd, much of which turns right. If you were trying to cross from Deal’s gateway into Greenwich High Rd, the ASL and stop line… Read More »Is this a safe junction?
Thanks to everyone who came along to our monthly meeting last night. Good to see both new faces and familiar ones. One of our decisions was to ask for assistance from all who cycle through Lewisham through its various junctions. We would like visual evidence. photos, or videos, whatever people are able to provide to help us show Lewisham Council and/or TfL just which areas are difficult to ride/walk through and then to develop ideas for improvements. So, if you can, next time you are passing through your particular nasty beast of a junction, take a camera and send us the shots, with a few brief notes on why it’s a problem. You can post them up on the elist or onto our Facebook group page (Lewisham Cyclists) Read More »Another interesting and lively meeting!

Hello everyone! The minutes from our June meeting are available under Minutes. Do take a minute to read and do use the leave a comment option if you have something to say about anything there. We do both welcome and read your comments. And even act on them if we can.
We had quite a lively, informative and interesting AGM. A big thank you to those who turned up and made it so. You can read the minutes by clicking on AGM minutes May 2012 on the Minutes tab on this site. Quite a few things arose out of it. As a result of one issue in Any Other business, it seems that some are deeply unhappy with the Deptford junctions… Read More »AGM Minutes available to view
At last! The foot tunnel lifts, both north and south, are now fully operational. Presumably the impending visit of HRH on 25th April got some corporate socks pulled up. Woolwich foot tunnel and lifts are also open.
I have been checking out the new Bike Week 2012 website (don’t worry, it’s not till June!) and found this very useful page where Helen Pidd summarises in 10 handy points exactly how you can love your bike and make it work for you a whole lot better and longer. http://www.bikeweek.org.uk/page.php?id=80 I would second every single point on this list. It’s exactly what I, and most of the experienced cyclists… Read More »Love Your Bike Part 2!
I have just received my copy of Lewisham Life through the door and was reminded in the small ad section, of an excellent offer provided by Lewisham Council. A whole day’s cycle maintenance course, delivered by the excellent CTUK, for just ten pounds. If you are one of those many individuals I meet each year on the rides I lead, who confess to absolute befuddlement when confronted by even minor… Read More »Love Your Bike!
The Cyclists in the City blog has suggested we all turn up for this and show MPs that the Cyclesafe campaign is about more than just training. Come and tell them to make cycling a legitimate mode of transport not just a training issue. flashride-wednesday-22-february-615.html
