It's no place for chaingangs, period; let alone in the rush hour. You're never going to be able to apply the usual group ride protocol and make it stick week in week out.
Inevitably, accidents have increased due to rider density (deliberate ambiguity there) as soon as Eastway was cast aside in preparation for the Olympics. Competitive inner city riders have ended up having to use the place far more than they'd like to to get a few tempo miles done.
Regents Park has its place as a training 'venue', but chaingangs during the rush hour are just courting disaster.
