Video of July ride of London Critical Mass.

As usual at the start of the ride the police were threatening riders with sound systems with arrest if they dare to play them within the SOCPA zone around Parliament. Something they do not do to motorists with sound systems.

The ride was fast with an interesting route and no stops at junctions for a change. Everything went well until the police decided to pull over a sound system in Park Lane towards the end of the ride, well outside of the SOCPA zone. When their error was pointed out they then claimed they did it because 'offensive music' was being played. This is not the first time these self-appointed arbiters of public morality have tried to censor music during a Critical Mass ride.

The raw video is over two hours long and was made with a helmet cam. It has been edited down into two parts totalling 11 minutes.
