I think it might be a good idea.
This was the first (and only) critical mass I've ever attended, and only did so because of the deaths Of Muhammad Haris Ahmed and Shivon Watson in quick succession in March last year. There have already been 6 cyclist deaths on London roads this year (maybe more).
I know a lot of people don't like linking critical mass and protesting about cycling deaths but I thought the first half of the critical mass last year was quite moving, even if it deteriorated somewhat towards the end. If critical mass ever had a purpose then surely it would be this.
