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 |  |
