Momentum
Not sure of the "no ones organising this officer" excuse will really wash if the police actually mind people riding around on bikes cos they'll find a way to cause hassle. Also if the "midnite ridazzz" don't have a police escort and start obstructing london's finest cabbies and other assorted cunts-in-cars then the ride will stop being fun pretty quickly as cars hit bikes and fights break out. Hopefully that won't happen, but it's important to remember that the police have two roles at CM: 1. being twats; 2. stopping other people being twats.
That is actually a bloody fine point.
