TBH people do complain when black-cabs do their protesting and bring the centre of town to a grinding halt, though I'm not sure it's the same people complaining.
Can't help thinking a few years ago this would probably have been organised on here - the ever changing world of the inter-web -

@c0gsucker just posted this in the news thread:

I seem to see only blokes in the pictures. Where are the girls and women? Is it 100% a sausage fest?

Witnessed the second massive rideout near me this month.
Swerving around in traffic, blocking off major roads, making a shit load of noise, hurling threats and abuse at people ... but that was just the police's massive, massive overreaction to it both times.
These kids are a nuisance tbh, but the police treating it like it some kind of riot is fucking ridiculous. I'm sure its going a long way to further undermine police respect amongst potentially vulnerable teenagers.

SE Bikes' balance sheets have never looked so good.

It says repeatedly 'brought to a standstill' but in fact there seem to be hundreds of people moving about very freely & perhaps quicker than 'normal' traffic & from all of the footage on the article I saw perhaps 10 cars waiting. Seen as dangerous & antisocial, it's what all youth cultures have always been. Anything that gets young people on bikes can only be a good thing.

Had the pleasure of witnessing a few of these riders heading to a posse meet-up at Vauxhall on Friday evening. They make Lucas Brunelle et al look responsible.

The first I heard of this (being a bit too old for wherever it was planned) was when dubtap posted a picture in the 'Spotted ...' thread. As with the reporting of Critical Mass at times, it is plain that the end of civilisation is nigh. Although, nicking from shops? Did that really happen? I'm pretty sure that's one charge CM never had. If it did happen, were they trying to copy early Tour riders? (The article doesn't say whether it was by riders or not.)

It is worth noting that just about anything happening in Central London that's slightly out of the ordinary brings it to a 'standstill' as far as the Standard is concerned. :)
Anyway, I thought we might as well have a thread on it.
