	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
	cm27-2-09 - Doug London, England Critical Mass February ride. About 300 riders turned up and still no police. After setting off the ride passed a flashmob at Waterloo Station. 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...

	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'. Several sound systems this time, some were threatened with SOCPA prosecution if they dared to play in the vicinity of Parliament... Keywords: Critical Mass; bicyclists; SOCPA; police Downloads: 627
	cml28-3-08 - Doug London Critical Mass UK visits the Chinese Embassy on its March 2008 ride. Despite wet and windy conditions more than 100 riders started, accompanied by about 20 police cyclists and the usual police van. Police have a habit of blocking the front of the ride at some intersections and traffic lights which tends to make it slower than otherwise and holds up traffic. Under the notorious SOCPA law, which might soon be repealed, Critical Mass sound systems are not allowed to be played near Parliament...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 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? At Hyde Park Corner a woman cop threatened a ... Keywords: Critical Mass; Bicyclists; London; England Downloads: 465

	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...
