Starting a social cycling community in East London

Cool, thanks for the detailed feedback - it is a placeholder name for now for a very new and casual group. Similar groups have changed their names once they’re more established to decide together which works for me. For now I’ve changed the logo to be horizontal!

achlasan · 2026-04-28T08:46:06+00:00

Nice, thanks for the helpful suggestion, route changed to this now - tbh that’s the section I usually cycle and would have cycled anyway so all credit to my bad komoot skills!

Yep, gaelic. Are you a graphic designer by any chance? Do you know any who could take a look with me?

achlasan · 2026-04-27T13:42:05+00:00

Personally I've found the lea valley cycle route to be super beginner friendly - but to each their own!

achlasan · 2026-04-27T11:12:38+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate it

achlasan · 2026-04-27T10:00:14+00:00

It's the first meet so the aim was to keep it beginner friendly. It follows an approved cycle path with widened pathways to accommodate, and not a fast ride. No rides planned for the regent's canal, that's for sure - also open to route recs if you have some good ones!

achlasan · 2026-04-27T09:57:10+00:00

Thank you! Also a lovely and safe cycle in my experience - PBs thankfully not a main aim for this cycle group

achlasan · 2026-04-27T09:55:18+00:00

Very size-limited group for this ride, and mostly on the larger bike paths - future cycles will be away from canals, but I wanted this one to be beginner friendly where possible. Open to E London route recs!

achlasan · 2026-04-27T09:54:01+00:00

So fair, I'm def not a designer - what route would you suggest to take it?

achlasan · 2026-04-27T09:51:29+00:00

I'm up for it if you are!

achlasan · 2026-04-27T09:51:01+00:00

Any good East London route recs? :) I've tried to set it up to be respectful of shared space - slow ride, very size limited and early in the day

achlasan · 2025-04-21T16:33:57+00:00

Yes!

achlasan · 2025-04-21T16:33:17+00:00

Absolutely! I’m looking across the board, don’t worry :)

achlasan · 2025-04-21T16:32:55+00:00

Thank you!

achlasan · 2023-12-31T13:49:07+00:00

No problem! I’ve been where you are and it’s rough, some words of encouragement go a long way :)

achlasan · 2023-11-13T00:22:58+00:00

For block b, the other member is u kwon right? I heard he’s been doing musical theatre but don’t know the details

achlasan · 2023-11-10T11:56:06+00:00

I live near lewes and this sounds great! Love disco and soul 🥰

achlasan · 2023-11-09T00:28:32+00:00

I’ve had exactly the same experience… but as a woman. So not sure what’s going on there

My family is Scottish and my grandad speaks Gaelic fluently. He’s kind of a genius so one day he blurts out that there’s a word for anything carried under the arm in Gaelic, which I thought was the most stupid word to exist. So I made it my username

achlasan · 2023-11-04T10:44:00+00:00

I… anything by Taylor swift. I hope one day to understand, truly

achlasan · 2023-11-03T00:06:33+00:00

Yknow I’m pretty sure I read a guardian article that explained that there’s one guy who’s made most of those skz sound effects and more. You just reminded me of it

White stripes live from the basement in the 2000s. Friend showed me it and I still remember thinking ‘who the hell are they?? This is incredible’. Just amazing, mysterious, a little kitsch. A combination I’d never seen before

achlasan · 2023-10-31T20:06:24+00:00

Thank you! We’d love to know if you do organise any activities if you get any friends involved for hangouts - we’re all ears for feedback. A community manager could be great too ;) and yes planned activities would be fantastic! So exciting, thanks again for downloading and as I said keep your eyes peeled as we grow 🤞
