A leisurely 28 mile ride from Bermondsey to Fairby Grange in Kent (returning by train or cycling back).
Celebrating the Salters throughout 2022 - Bike Ride to Fairby Grange
In 1922 Ada Salter became mayor of Bermondsey and Alfred Salter was elected MP.
This wonderful couple devoted their lives to the environment, housing and public health. They transformed a deprived inner-city area into a healthy green oasis.
In honour of Ada and Alfred, Salter enthusiasts are leading a leisurely ride from Bermondsey to Fairby Grange in Kent (returning by train or cycling back). London Clarion members have been invited to join this ride and we have agreed to help promote this ride which is free for anyone to attend.
Most people know that Alfred Salter was a cyclist, having seen the famous photo of him riding around the area to visit his patients.
