1. A Real Focus on Rider Safety, Training and Progression
London Dynamo places strong emphasis on the safety of both our riders and the wider public. All members are expected to follow our established riding protocols and best practices, which are published on our website in a series of guides.
These guidelines promote clear communication, considerate behaviour, and adherence to the rules of the road. Our trained Ride Leaders and Ride Marshals help ensure these standards are maintained on every ride, reducing risk and fostering positive interactions with other road users. By riding responsibly, we protect ourselves, the public, and the reputation of the club and cycling in general.
Want to get fitter, faster, or just more confident and safe on the bike? Our structured rides, training sessions, skills sessions and coaching partnerships make London Dynamo a great choice if you’re aiming to level up. You’ll ride with stronger cyclists, improve your skills, ride safer and push your limits—all in a supportive and safety-conscious environment.
