• Some vitriol on the dunwich dynamo FB group. Maybe it is responsible to stay away this year but I don’t buy the idea that it’s putting unnecessary strain on the NHS (if you have a big off for example). Staying active is crucial and there’s more chance of resource-sapping injury fighting over super noodles in the local Tesco than there is on a bike ride of mostly experienced responsible cyclists.

  • I've heard of an ambulance requiring accident almost every year I've done the Dynamo. Mostly caused by drivers on Epping High Road, but the fact remains that a large gathering of strangers is irresponsible in the current climate, unless things drastically change by June

  • Well, the Dynamo is certainly a massive social event, was always conceived in this way, and has become even more so in recent years as the number of possible stopping places that do tea and food has gone up. Compared to its size, and I think compared to every other major social event, e.g. festivals, ambulance and medical requirements are minuscule, but the intensely social aspect would certainly make it fall under possible restrictions that may still apply at the time. Let's hope that the situation has improved by July.
