Meet at Southwark Gateway Needle, London Bridge at 5pm for a 2 hour ride. Out though the Covent Garden area and then wind through the West End (Regents St, Carnaby St etc). Rumours of mulled wine by the tree in Trafalgar Square. Finish at the Aldwych. There will be a led ride back to London Bridge for anyone going that way. It will be dark. There will be lots of traffic including every tour bus available. There will be loads of pedestrians all over the place. There will be garishly decorated bicycle rickshaws. It is horrendous. But it is also great fun. Make sure your lights are fully charged. Then decorate your bike, lots of fairy lights please. Put on that red cycling jacket with the white trim. Only rule is – keep up. Do not lose sight of the group. Your ride leader will be Werner with Jamie and Bruce attempting to keep everyone safe and together. See you there! Report and photos from 2024.
Riders of all ages are welcome on Healthy Rides but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Same for “adults at risk”. Always give way to pedestrians and to other cyclists so all path users feel safe. If you cannot make a ride, please cancel so that someone else can take the place. These rides are part of a regular programme of (mostly Saturday) rides organised by Southwark Cyclists, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.
