Bexley Bike Days After a successful series of events to encourage adult cycling in Thamesmead, Bexley Council is rolling out the initiative across the borough. The co-ordinator (Stephanie Turner) of this programme is liaising with various local groups and has asked us for help in providing social rides. The first ‘Bike Day’ took place at Crook Log – future ‘Bike Days’ will be taking place at Erith and Sidcup. The events include bike sales, cyclist training – beginners and more experienced, social rides and Dr Bike. Training has also been offered for those wishing to lead rides. Do come along and take part, there is level 2 training which is designed to improve confidence and skills when cycling with traffic. All activities are free and Bikes and helmets are provide.

Programme of events Learn to cycle (10am-12pm) - learn to get your feet of the floor and enjoy the love of cycling Level 2 cycling training (1pm-3pm) - a chance to improve your road skills on quiet roads Social Ride (12:30pm) - Meet you friends, find new cycle roads and have fun. Bike Market -providing a range of affordable bikes for all your bike and Dr Bike
Planned Bike Maintenance Workshops We are looking to do cycle maintenance workshops. We need to know what type of workshops people would like and when the best time to have them is. Our initial thoughts were to do Saturday morning workshops followed by a ride. Please give feeback on whether you would be interested in a cycle maintenance course and whether you would prefer an evening workshops or a Saturday morning or a full day workshop. Send an email to [email protected]
Council Liaison Stephanie Turner, who has been sorting out the Bike Days and has been attending our bimonthly meetings, has been able to find the relevant contacts for us in the Council. We are currently looking to find out more about the developments relating to cycle routes from the Ridgeway to Abbey Wood. We want to see a safer route along Harrow Manor Way.
Next Bexley Meeting We are now meeting in a venue in Geddes Place as this is more central. It is also easier to get to a pub if we are so inclined. This venue worked well. Our next meeting will be in January when we will plan the year ahead.
Contacting Bexley Cyclists As well as sending an email to [email protected], you can now make contact by text to 0775 980 7593 or call and leave a message, so we can get back to you.
