Waterlink Way: How much longer will we have a safe and traffic free route from Ladywell through Catford?

  • by

NB. This route is largely open now, although not yet finished.  The developers have been reasonably good at keeping us informed and sticking to to their promises, with a couple of little hiccups here and there.  Please keep us informed of any problems on the route so we can take it up with them as soon as possible.  The development won’t be finished till 2016.   The section of NCN… Read More »Waterlink Way: How much longer will we have a safe and traffic free route from Ladywell through Catford?

  • by

Before Christmas, you may remember that we asked you to complete a survey drawn up by the London Cycling Campaign in which you could draw attention to what you considered to be the barriers to cycling, both in Lewisham and across London wherever Lewisham cyclists ride, or in many cases, would like to ride, but can’t due to the severity of those barriers.   We now have the results of… Read More »Space4Cycling: Survey results and Campaign News

CS5 and Lewisham…a troubled relationship.

  • by

I remember when I first heard about The Cycle Super Highways, it seemed a great idea. Fast, safe routes for cyclists, from all around the city to Central London? Honestly? This was heady stuff. When had we ever heard anyone talk like this about cycling in London? The LCN, (London Cycle network) which had promised so much still remained piecemeal, patchy, and was never intended to give cyclists equal access… Read More »CS5 and Lewisham…a troubled relationship.

I have been a bit remiss in completing ride reports recently…but having been told at the Greenwich Christmas Quiz that at least a few people enjoy them, I will start again. I rode to Clapham Junction under blue skies streaked with thin threads of pure white cloud, a beautiful clear winter light flooding the Common. A great 6 miles to start the day I was expecting at least half a… Read More »Surrey Hills Winter Edition December 2013

Boris’s Solution: Take off those headphones and complete this survey

  • by

Although we feel that everyone is quite clear about what is wrong with some of the major pieces of cycling infrastructure in our city, and believe that cycling and other sustainable transport organisations have been explaining for some time now what needs to be done, Boris, as usual has his own ideas.  So, folks, whip off those headphones because apparently you iPod carrying wheelers are the scourge of the city’s… Read More »Boris’s Solution: Take off those headphones and complete this survey
