The predator species of Macra were much larger in size, several hundred times larger than a human. They were stocky in build, with large eye-stalks and large claws, and had a second, smaller set of claws beneath the mouth. The sapient species of Macra were larger than humans, able to hold a human in one claw. Both fed upon poisonous gases and organic lifeforms when available.

Signs were put up to inform road users the left-hand lane was supposed to be used by the event, however it seems a lack of segregation meant by the time the riders seen in the video reached the Grand Parade it was full of traffic.ĭespite the ugly pictures, Elizabeth Tack, operations lead at the British Heart Foundation said they received 'positive feedback' from event control about traffic flow at the scene and the police reported 'no incidents'. In scenes seen in a video shot by local news outlet The Argus, and shared on Facebook, riders negotiating the final stages in Brighton can be seen weaving between stationary vehicles in both lanes. Some of the British Heart Foundation's London to Brighton riders were faced with scenes of gridlock as they rode the final metres of the 54-mile charity ride on Sunday after a lack of segregation meant traffic filled a lane designated for the event.
