I rode as a Ride Safety Captain. We were given as many tubes as we could carry. Gave them all out. So many riders with no spare tubes, no pump and no idea how to change a tyre. "Oh, I never get punctures."
Saw one poor guy whose seat post had snapped off taking a chunk of the frame with it. Probably should have used a torque wrench.
So many cold riders who hadn't taken arm warmers or even a jacket given the forecast and the Ride London warning emails.
Generally witnessed decent standards of riding and few accidents.
