Yeah I knew that, noticed one of the organisers complaining about it. Hopefully though it'll mean that more of those who're specifically invited will attend, rather than accepting a group invite just out of politeness. I always suspected, for instance, that for Newcastle last year invites were sent to the old Spencer Tunick list- over a thousand signed up whilst just a few dozen actually rode.
Probably the blog posts I chanced upon were just being optimistic, but they sounded pretty confident of a decent turn-out for London, so I wondered if they'd been co-ordinating via a different platform this year. Though with all the various, horrendous bullshit that's gone on over the past year, I'd imagine cycle safety and oil dependency has probably dropped down most people's lists, for the time being at least.
