Introducing the London Dynamo KnowledgeBase

London Dynamo has launched the KnowledgeBase, a new learning library of 12 short modules covering group riding, the Saturday and Sunday rides, the Code of Conduct, cycling security and more.

London Dynamo has launched the KnowledgeBase, a new learning library that puts everything members need to know about riding with the club in one place, in short modules that take a few minutes to read on a phone or at the roadside.

Why we built it

Our old guides were long, single web pages. They were thorough, but too long to read in one go, and they could not be broken into parts. In practice, many members never got round to reading them. The KnowledgeBase changes that. Each topic is now a short, self-contained module with clear chapters, so you can read what you need, when you need it.

What is in it

There are 12 modules at launch. For riders and group leaders:

And for our ride marshals:

KnowledgeBase module cards for the Saturday Park Ride and Cycling Security showing chapters and reading time
Every module has its own card, with the number of chapters and the time it takes to read.

The modules include diagrams, pace tables and quick reference summaries, and they work on any phone, tablet or computer.

Diagrams make the rules clear. This one shows how to hold the 1.5m berth when overtaking other cyclists.
Pace tables showing Fast, Moderate and Steady speed ranges for Thames Valley and Windsor and for Explorer and Surrey Hills rides
The Non-Drop Guarantee module sets out the advertised speed range for every pace group.

A serious commitment to safety and standards

The KnowledgeBase represents a significant investment by the club in modern, flexible learning. It reflects how seriously London Dynamo takes rider safety, good group riding and a consistent standard across every ride, and it supports our aim to be one of the best managed performance cycling clubs in London.

What we ask of you

Spend a few minutes with the modules that apply to you. Ride leaders and marshals, please make sure you have read yours. If you spot something that is wrong or missing, tell us, because the KnowledgeBase will keep growing and more modules are planned.
