What is the point of London Critical Mass?

The point of tonight's ride appears to have been to pose on some very pretty fixies and ss bikes. I even had four different people plus a policewoman ask about my bike.

Mind you my bike is very pretty and I do enjoy posing upon it.

                                                  **GLIDER TUPELO Mono**

Whether motivated by fashion, purity or a desire for prettiness, a ‘fixie’ has near mythical attraction amongst the bikeratti. If you want to ‘go pretty' this winter the Mono is the prettiest cycling experience imaginable. Nothing between you and the road except the finest and most pretty steel tubing in the world, Serotta craftsmanship, a set of track cranks and a pair of pretty handbuilt wheels.
The Tupelo Mono is elegantly pretty and handcrafted in tiny quantities.

• Classic 2008 Glider Tupelo geometry
• Hand crafted in the USA by Serotta Competition Bicycles
• Super-pretty (0.5-0.38-0.5mm) Serotta-tuned, air-hardened Columbus Niobium tubes.
• Lightest and prettiest ever steel alloy
• Greatest resistance to ugliness than any previous steel alloy
• CNC’d reverse track drop-outs - formed at the Serotta factory from a single billet of material. These are the prettiest, most precisely engineered and beautiful drop-outs in the world. Sometimes people stare at them all day!
• Double brake mounts for safety and control
• Greater clearances for riding stability and mudguard attachment
• Single bottle-cage mounting
• Only available in Henry Ford Black (Onyx) *The ‘fixed’ tag is slightly ironic as the cranks are far from fixed, even when you might prefer they were.
