Yesterday's turnout was a massive 15000 riders and a great success.

Excellent : most appear to be sensibly wearing a cycle helmet - perhaps on the
advice of the organisers.

Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists.
This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users.
The actions of a true psycholist.

Are there any figures for how many suffered from heart attacks,
strokes, heat stroke, etc?

It was barely 20C wasn't it? There probably weren't any. Unlike a
couple of weeks ago when at least one man died at this event when it
was around 30C.
Only 32 years old as well.
