Not all critical mass events are crusty, but some are. The Manchester Critical Mass was ruined by the boom box crowd and their rainforest rave tunes. IMO and the opinion of others.
I'm surprised how many people are worried about other people's impression of them for enjoying themselves.
Mark, you're point is based on the assumption that those who have spoken out against the boom box are actually enjoying it? The fact we ride around in hockey masks, hulk gloves and weird bikes might go some way to proving that other people judging us is not the reason we don't like it.
For the record, I do not 'read' the Daily Mail or the Sun, but I will 'browse' a copy if it's lying around. Like all decent Stokey people (N16 MANDEM) I will buy a Guardian and an Observer, of a weekend, and then walk around the local area not reading it.
