'protest' ride?

Nice to see multiple people jumped on it to ask for correction including yourself.

I think overdrive summed it up perfectly on the MT forum when someone asked if we should tell The Times.

quote of the post?

That was the one.

To be honest, any journalist worth their salt would already know about it, though this is the times. I'm sad to say that I won't be able to make it on friday. I'll be thinking of you all and Henry.

Velocio, could I contribute to a LFGSS bunch of flowers or similar?

^ or a bunched donation to the courier fund?

or both?

If you want to donate money for flowers then I'll organise it on behalf of everyone on LFGSS.

I won't go over the top, and any extra money I'll send directly to the LCEF.

Just paypal@lfgss.com and make sure that you state it's for flowers somewhere so that I don't confuse it with forum donations.

I tweeted Ross Lydall (the author), and he says he's going to correct it.

Very sad. I used to see Henry out and about a fair bit :(

Absolutely. The Standard piece is made up of one quote from Rico, and then a bunch cut & paste of stuff from here, Twitter & MT.

Maybe it'll contribute something to preventing such horrors if we all sign up for the Times 'Cities fit for Cycling' campaign:

Yeah, sure. Discussion for another place, matey.

Maybe start here

see you all friday evening.

Let's meet at 7pm-ish,a couple of riders have already said they wont finish work til around 7pm and it's too cold to be standing around.

If you ride a bike in London you are welcome.

Such very sad news indeed. :(

Tragic..just so very very sad

see you friday evening

RIP Henry

Man, I thought i recognised the bike, just very unexpected even thought I only exchange a few words with him.

Just what they meant by "after work" I have no idea, 5pm? 6? 8?

Everyone is welcome, but don't expect a punctual start. The timing is dependent on what work people end up with & at what time. If half London's couriers end up in Chelsea at 7pm (which entirely plausible), then the start may be delayed. It won't be before 6pm, and won't be after 8, but I wouldn't like to be more specific than that.

Personally, I won't finish my desk-bound job until gone 7, so I hope it doesn't start without me...
