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. This ride is part of a regular programme of Saturday rides, more information at https://southwarkcyclists.org.uk/healthy-rides/.

Easy route, just 10 miles. Ideal for newish cyclists who would like to get more experience and learn some routes. Visit 2 fine parks and have a look at Tower Bridge.

Mostly quiet streets, some paths in parks.

Several stops at points of interest plus short coffee break about half way.

Just yourself and your bike.

First-timers welcome!
