In SE London, many of our rides are organised on a cross-borough basis by the Dog & Bell Crew, centred on Greenwich and Lewisham, but including members from Bromley, Southwark and elsewhere. Non LCC people too!
Meet at Buckingham Palace (What3Words: ///loves.inform.crop) at 9am on Saturday Sep 28th to do a 3 hour relatively flat social cycle ride to the Cinnamon Cafe, Windsor.

Unfortunately all the Eventbrite tickets for this ride at are "sold our". But don't despair - you can still go onto the waiting list or use the links below to do the ride on your own:

Wednesday 25th December 2024 11:00am. The ride will start from the Southwark Needle, 1 Tooley St, London SE1 2PF, home of Southwark Cyclists,
SS Robin has now been moved from outside ExCel to Trinity Buoy Wharf. But its journey was somewhat circuitous, as it had to leave the Royal Docks by passing through a large lock at the far end. This lock turned out to be fully functional, despite its looks.
The Southwark Cyclists Snowmen Ride on Saturday December 9th was fully booked, so those who didn't have Eventbrite ticket were not allowed to go on it. However, as the snowmen are to be found in the City of London, there's no reason why people who aren't Southwark residents can't organise a social ride to see them.
There is a postcode lottery about which boroughs you have to live in, if you want to automatically belong to a borough-specific cycling group that organises "free" social rides that are open to all. The boroughs shown in blue on this map do not have an LCC website, probably because they are not left wing enough.
