Vigil for Ellie: Bermondsey Square Wednesday 16th December 6pm

  • by

The family of Ellie Carey, killed on her bike last week, is organising a vigil via twitter and Facebook to take place on Wednesday at 6pm, location Bermondsey Square. I have the greatest admiration for the families of people like Ellie, Brian Dorling, Eilidh Cairns and Alex McVity, amongst others, who have worked, and are still working, so hard to make our roads safer for others.  They have made me… Read More »Vigil for Ellie: Bermondsey Square Wednesday 16th December 6pm

Mixing it with the cars November 7

  • by

Five or so I think at Cutty Sark Gardens for the 7:15 off, not counting one who emerged from the foot tunnel off to the East Croydon pick-up. By the time we left Forest Hill I think we were ten, another joined in Sydenham and by the time we hit East Croydon no-one was quite sure how many – 35? Maybe more. They came from Southwark, Lewisham, Bromley, north of… Read More »Mixing it with the cars November 7

We met at Cutty Sark Gardens 2 weeks ago for a ride and that whole area looks like the pits. There has also been no confirmation about when the lifts will re-open, personally I cannot… Read More »Greenwich Foot Tunnel – an update

Addison Lee – a new hope?

  • by

I have been hearing from fellow cyclists over the past few years how awful some Addison Lee Drivers there, am pretty certain some of their actions have been recorded and stuck up on youtube. Anyway a few weeks ago I had cause to make a complaint to them: Dear Addison Lee, I was cycling to B*******  Library where I work and as I was turning right to get onto Little Boltons (SW5)… Read More »Addison Lee – a new hope?

Pluckley Circular Ride 30th October

  • by

Saturday dawned fair and bright, and with that came a large group of cyclists: Field Marshall Hughes, Captain Fergar, Alan, Eleanor, Gareth, Helmut, Ian, Jane, Katie, Martin, Miranda, Philip, Suleiman. Pluckley, as we all surely know is Britain’s most haunted village so it seemed like a good opportunity to imbibe the spirits at the start of the ride, and thus to imbibe them again at the end in the Black… Read More »Pluckley Circular Ride 30th October

Secret London Gardens 14th August

Bill Owen’s Secret London Gardens ride took us from Walworth to Vauxhall via St Giles, Islington, Barbican, Kings Cross, Hyde Park,  Holland Park & Chelsea The individual gardens stunned us with their luxurious variety of colour and planting  – we could have happily spent an hour in each of them. Most it seems were loving cared for by local community groups and it would be probably true to say that… Read More »Secret London Gardens 14th August
