Cycling in Richmond (Greater London)
The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames has many attractions for cycists. There are several notable routes away from the roads such as the Tamsin Trail around the periphery of Richmond Park, extensive river paths alongside the Thames and the Crane River providing pleasant cycle rides.
Richmond Cycling Campaign is the local London Cycling Campaign group in the area. They cover the whole Borough of Richmond upon Thames, which as well as Richmond includes Twickenham, Hampton, Whitton, Teddington, Mortlake, Kew, Sheen, St Margarets and Barnes. They work to make a cycle friendly borough, working with the council to improve facilities for cyclists and raising the profile of cycling in the borough through education and participation. They organise regular cycle rides and maintenance workshops open to all.

Walking to school is not always easy or safe when delivery vehicles park on the pavement near the school. #walktoSchool https://t.co/2YHUpMGiul
Humongous pothole at the #Kingston gate entrance of Richmond Park @richmondparkuk https://t.co/zTQIUGBsvt
Why park over a cycle lane, isn't there a delivery bay near Hampton Court Bridge? @BidfoodUK https://t.co/cV1G4Ejtdb
Segregated cycleway on Kingston bridge, with cycists also on the footway to beat the Christmas shopping crowds.
Signs telling cyclists to dismount to cross the road in Richmond Park (now very busy with both cyclists and cars at weekends)
An ideal location! Adjacent to a station, on a public highway, in an unused motorcycle parking space, and benefitting from existing shelter from the bridge. And it means that a lot of people won't have to go on to the busy London Road to ... [more]
London Cycle Network route signs at the junction with the Duck's Walk shared-use path along the Thames.
No Cycles allowed beyond the flood barrier by Richmond Bridge - but why would one take a bike that far anyway?Just another pointless anti-cycle sign.
Just like last year, this event sign for motorists is blocking the cycle lane at Richmond Circus @RichmondCycling http://t.co/JJSrelf4pG
Locking to trees as not enough cycle parking for May 2014 Foodies Festival, but not enough in general too.
Narrow footbridge - but it would be great if a cycle path could be put in across the Old Deer Park towards Richmond station
It would be perfectly possible to have a cycleway here to avoid the part at least of the busy road to Richmond Park
Cycle link from the Thames-side route to Twickenham bridge - so presumably the 'No Access' sign refers to cars only.
This is the institutionally anti cycling sign that greets you as you enter Richmond Park. Why not same for driving? http://t.co/1LE9u1FU23
Every time I bike over Kingston Bridge I think bike track is excellent. Just a shame it goes nowhere much http://t.co/01sUFjvb2T
Cycle ride from Kingston, along the Thames via Teddington Lock, Richmond, Twickenham, Richmond, Kew, Barnes to Putney and back via Richmond Park.
