We're not allowed to block roads/junctions.
We have no police escort.
We have 1000-odd people, most of whom don't ride regularly, let alone in central London, in Tweed, in a group.
We have tandems, recumbent tandems, penny farthings, kids, wheelchairs, a dandy horse and much more.What exactly did you think it would be like? :P

Too many people, too much traffic, too much perching on a stationary bike
