Less quirky that just a bit, well… random. The Dunwich Dynamo is a hugely popular night ride from London to the Suffolk coast on the Saturday closest to the full moon in July.

It’s not an ‘organised’ ride as there are no road closures or body overseeing it, but thousands of people turn up to ride with the Southwark Cyclists, making this the ultimate midsummer party for cyclists.

There’s a great sense of camaraderie, food vans along the route and the pleasure of seeing hundreds of blinking bike lights in front of you. You can even go for a dip in the sea at the end, if you don’t mind being freezing.
