I don't think you should have to justify CM anymore than people should have to justify pride.

It's a party that may annoy others, some make the annoyance their reason for participating, but they are really in the minority... the reason for most to go is to have a bit of a party and maybe raise the profile...

it's one day a month for fucks sake, for a couple of hours

Too true, but I think that for a lot of people in our society a few hours per month thinking about anyone's world but their own is too high an expectation.

Dammit

In all honesty I think that critical mass does more to damage the cause of cycling than anything else.
I've been, and enjoyed it, but I wished I was not there as the pack went to go around parliament square for the third time.

For the people trapped there a neutral perception of cyclists was transformed into active dislike.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
