Lol, can we use that reasoning to ban cars at rush hour too?

I think it's going to be 1 step forwards and 2 steps back for overall safety. The part of the routes they are trying to stop looks like it would be where they turn off the cycle superhighway 3 to show tourists st pauls but the alternative to dismounting in a more quiet narrow street for a long walk would be that they just use more main roads instead.
The bit mentioning "protective equipment" I think city of london should have responded it's not a legal requirement and told them to do one. If they put in some silly rule that customers must wear a bunch of stuff to appease office workers who sit out in a park eating lunch as they cycle past it's just going to damage business, give it a few months and then another operator will have setup that's just not engaged at all with the council.

I can't find a thread on organised cycle tours of London. There are quite a few operators now. I can't remember which one was first. You occasionally come across these groups in Central London, and I have to say that I have witnessed problematic riding, as not surprisingly the skills of those who take up such tours will vary quite a lot.
Anyway, this thread was prompted by this news:

Obviously, riding around London is by far the best way of seeing it if you are a tourist, but it's not an activity without problems.
