Cyclists still continue travel to fast down the Surrey Canal Footpath : Last week a cyclists hit a pedestrain I never saw the incident but was speaking to the...
I would suggest that when we had this brought up to its present standard twelve years ago it was fit for the levels of use. But with increasing numbers cycling...
It's unrealistic to expect segregation where there is dual use. If cyclists can't cope with calm riding in these and many other places, they should stick to...
No it isn't. Parts of Greendale are seperated and it works better than the un seperated sections. With. Increasing cycle and pedestrian numbers a point comes...
mm Greendale I think is completely straight whereas the Surrey Canal path has a lot of curves. If this was separated, wouldn't it mean that a new extra path...
I completely agree about the summer influx of racing idiots, but I don't think the canal path can be made wide enough without taking away most of the pleasant...

I cycled this path yesterday. I thought it was narrow and wiggly. It is clearly very heavily used, by all sorts of pedestrians and cyclists. I have always...

And that taxi/cyclist training should include impressing upon cabdrivers the fact that a great many of their passengers are cyclists. For those of us who...
Any cyclist who wants a fast route should not use the Surrey Canal Path at all. There is a complete on road route which takes you to exactly the same...
Sorry folks- see just now that Tom beat me to it. He is absolutely right. Sorry folks- see just now that Tom beat me to it. He is absolutely right....

... Yes, I know about the FNTTC - at least one route goes past the end of my road: Lavender Avenue, on Figge's Marsh near Colliers Wood and Mitcham. It's part...
... Yep, I'd heard it was popular! Last time I did the L2B was 2009 - about my 11th time, I think; I tend to go every 2-3y - it took my 9h because of all the...
Your description matches my experience exactly. Myself and a few other local Greens did a few "slow down" actions a couple of years back, and Colin then...
The road route does have a few issues, I'll grant, although I have used it for years without coming to any harm. The junctions with Commercial Way and...
I am thinking that when Morrisey wrote Big Mouth Strikes Again more than 20 years ago, he was having a vision into the future. I can't avoid relating that song...
Just to chip in, I really don't enjoy these conversations about irresponsible cycling though of course, it's a dialogue we need to have. I haven't the time to...

Alex You're right, it's not a fun way to spend our cycling initiative, but I would support Colin, in thought if not in action, if he were able to organise a...
I really don't think that it's a good use of people's time to have yet another "cyclists should slow down" display. The problem is that the Surrey Canal path...

Hello We have now sold 320 coach/truck tickets for DDXX, so nearly half the places we've currently booked for. *Please note, the early bird price of £20...
It's been a couple of months now; i'd be interested to hear people's perceptions of whether the junction redesign is working or not. I'd say it's helped with...

it's actually quite disheartening to hear cycling/walking is still being planned in disconnected inches of car-free spaces. majority of the people who live in...
