	Critical Mass rides the red lights. - Doug. The video shows how riders on the February ride were ordered through red lights by the police, despite it inconveniencing pedestrians who had right of way. Later on the police van was blocked by some bollards and petulantly sounded its twos-n-blues much to the amusement of the riders. A policeman at the beginning of the ride let slip that he was concerned about CM causing mayhem to motorists, thus revealing his true agenda...

	Critical Mass London (UK) has more police hassle. - Doug This time the cops decided to get tough with riders without lights and those who go through red lights and also with sound systems in the SOCPA zone. Anyone carrying a placard within the zone, close to Parliament, is liable to arrest if they do not have prior police permission. Cars are allowed to play their sound systems within the zone but not bicycles it seems. One of the highlights of the ride was storming through the Aldwych underpass, something the police normally prevent...

	London Critical Mass enters the Exclusion Zone. - Doug. London Critical Mass enters the Exclusion Zone. On its September ride Critical Mass riders were issued with a police warning that the ride is illegal and that riders would risk arrest in the future. Additionally, the Mass always starts just outside a new exclusion zone around Parliament, where demonstrations without police permission and the use of sound systems are illegal. In defiance of the new draconian legislation the October Mass attracted many new supporters...

	cm24-4-09 - Doug. There was one arrest and one cop tried to get corkers to let a car past. The corking seemed excellent and comprehensive but which unavoidably led to lots of irritated drivers and arguments with them. I saw one car trying to move past the Mass on the wrong side of the road and against oncoming traffic and one motorcyclist used the pavement! At least three cyclists were rammed by drivers and had their wheels damaged... Keywords: bicyclists; London Critical Mass Downloads: 519

	The September 2006 ride of London's Critical Mass - Doug This was a relatively calm ride, in contrast to July and August when there were hassles from the police.

	13th Anniversary ride of Critical Mass London UK - Doug. Critical Mass London 13th Anniversary ride. The very well attended Mass got off to a good start, despite a spelling mistake on the kindly donated t-shirts. There was the usual large police presence with its intimidatory videoing of riders. The police returned to their previous tactic of blocking the front of the ride, thus adding to traffic congestion. At the entrance to Parliament Square the front of the ride was blocked for several traffic light cycles... Keywords: Critical Mass; cycling; cyclist; London Downloads: 883 Average rating: (0 review)
	London Critical Mass 25th May 2007 - Doug. Video of UK London Critical Mass on its monthly ride, defying the Metropolitan Police appeal. There was a large attendance, possibly 1,000 or more, thanks to the call-out, some media attention and reaction to the court case. The cycle police were pretty laid back and vastly outnumbered, though they did still try to manage the ride by blocking the front so that the back could catch up. What does it matter if a 1,000 riders get split into two or more though? Towards the end of the ride the police ... Keywords: Critical Mass; cyclists; police; bicycles Downloads: 421

There was only one circuit of Parliament Square this time but with sound systems playing merrily in the SOCPA zone. Annoyed motorists hooted in Trafalgar Square but there was a friendly blast from a large lorry. Then on to the Embankment and a very good job of corking at Blackfriars Bridge...

	Police try to manage the July 2006 ride of London's Critical Mass. - Doug Police try to manage the July 2006 ride of London's Critical Mass. Having won its court case against the police, London CM is now being subjected by the cycle cops to barricading and cars being allowed to nose into the ride. This had the effect of slowing down the Mass and causing fragmentation as well as extra traffic congestion. Towards the end of the ride a cyclist is accused of denting the fragile wing of a London taxi with his hand and a policeman takes his particulars...

	cml25-1-08 - Doug London Critical Mass January ride in England. A subdued start to a good ride, held up by a massive traffic jam in the Strand, but it livened up later with a bike high in Piccadilly Circus and taunts to impatient car horns. Joyful chants of 'More bikes less cars' and 'Whose streets? Our streets'.

Despite wet and windy conditions more than 100 riders started, accompanied by about 20 police cyclists and the usual police van.

Under the notorious SOCPA law, which might soon be repealed, Critical Mass sound systems are not allowed to be played near Parliament...

	London Critical Mass July 2009 - Doug London, England, UK. Following a late and hesitant start the large Mass proceeded on its joyful way shouting through the Strand underpass. Those at the front chose to avoid the usual popular stopping places with lifted bicycles celebrations. The volunteer corkers did an amazing job. Following a ramming by a taxi, a rider was briefly placed in handcuffs by police. A taxi is shown in the video attempting to ram its way through the riders, a not uncommon tactic by impatient drivers... Keywords: Critical Mass; Bicycle; Traffic; Police Downloads: 237
	London Critical Mass June 2009 - Doug. Several hundred riders. Warm weather. Still no cycle police. Usual confrontations with impatient drivers. Saw one cyclist rammed by a car but probably many more. They just can't wait for the ride to pass and they sound their horns impatiently and try to nose in dangerously. At Piccadilly Circus two car cops gave a rider a fixed penalty notice for going through a red light. Havenâ²t they heard yet that CM is now a customarily held procession in law?

	cm27-7-07 - Doug 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.

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...

	cm25-4-08 - Doug London Critical Mass 14th Anniversary ride. A fun ride well attended with good weather. Early in the ride police blocked the front at traffic lights and prevented movement, even when the lights were green. This is a familiar tactic which is done to compress the ride into as small a space as possible, with officers and a van at the back hassling stragglers to keep up, which slows things down and holds up traffic as well as making cycling difficult...
