I like the concept of this and the discipline involved in doing it. Have done similar things during my trans European adventures, although usually with 10+ riders. In my experience it all starts to fall apart with sub groups being formed due to there inevitably being riders which are stronger than others.
But as you guys have mentioned above, its a a public road with pinch points and generally populated with agitated rush hour drivers, my concern is that such a disciplined rotation system requires a lot of concentration, and could make people make some brash split seconds decisions in order to keep it flowing, which we all know can lead to disaster.
Having said that I wasn't there last night so you guys are much better qualified to comment on it.
