Critical Mass London: last friday of the month South Bank by National Theatre, 6.30pm

I'm in yeading, god help me. Do people actually leave at 6?

Not usually.

will probably take me an hour - worth a punt?

Fuck, I have no lights. Oh well, next time I guess.

That was fun. My favourite so far :)

I know it clashes with the Guiness Ride but anyone coming to Mass this month? It is the traditional halloween mass which means a lot of dressing up and general mucking about.

hahaha. Spooky!

May the ghost be with you myown ghost bike will be there

Last night was my first critical mass and I have to say, it was bloody excellent. I had a great time.

^ ditto, the highlight was definitely the rave at Oxford street!

I really enjoyed sweeping through the Holborn underpass. That was great.

Anyone doing Critical Mass this Friday?
The BBC are making a documentary similar to the one they did on the Tube on road traffic in London and will be filming at CM this Friday see e-mail below. If you are OK with being filmed they would be interested in talking to you

Hello,

I'm writing from Blast Films. We're making a 6 part observational documentary series for BBC2 on the people who work on London's roads to keep the traffic moving. The programmes are a follow up to the hugely successful 'The Tube' which aired on the same channel earlier this year.

We'll be featuring bus drivers, black cabbies and even rickshaw riders. I'm keen to explain a little more about the series and explore the filming possibilities around this Friday's Critical Mass ride. I'd like to know what the route will be and who are the key people I should be speaking to.

I'd be grateful if someone could get in touch, you can reach me on 07752831239 or alternatively if you could provide a number and a good time to call, I'd be happy to.

Thanks and best wishes,

Dominic

What are they accused of?

What are they accused of?

Out of about 200 cyclists 132 were caught up in the largest mass detention
since the riots,for the crime of cycling olympic route network as Danny Boyles
opening spectacular unfolded.....many held overnight in police garages
and single decker buses.........Im fucking glad i was watching said "spectacular" as usually make the effort..

I know that, but what are they actually accused of?

I think that the arrests where for breeching an order given under section 12 of the Public Order Act.

Not certain though.

Ah.

ermmmm with that in mind, anyone going this evening ?

I'd like to know what the route will be and who are the key people I should be speaking to.

Not done his basic CM research?

I thought that too.

I can't get there tonight, and likely can't be there again until Febuary now :(

I`m still undecided, and its bloody cold

I wanted to come this week but I'm sick as my knees are dead :/
Oh and it's pretty cold...
