You must be so proud to support a group of lawbreakers as shown on the video. Personally I would rather give my support to people who do not break the law. But you are known for defending lawbreakers aren't you. |

Some quotes from their report. "went down Sloane Street, corked off the Square and did a little bike lift" Yes traffic often lifts its vehicles in the air. "We corked off a lot of Chelsea Tractors and Saudi's in Audi's" Yet another admission of illegal acts. "Bike lift at Picadilly" Yes that makes cycling safer. "A little bike lift outside Downing Street" We want to be treated like traffic, yeah right. "We didn't cork PMT square very well and all the cars were mixed in, but it caused no harm" But Doug always reports that cars mixing with CM is dangerous, CM seem to differ. |

http://www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk/main.html From that very link .. "It was then "noted that, in China both motorists and bicyclists had an understood method of negotiating intersections without signals. Traffic would "bunch up" at these intersections until the back log reached a "critical mass" at which point that mass would move through the intersection"." Why, bearing the quote above from your own source, does CM 'cork' if it is safe to reach a critical mass at a junction ... a mixture of traffic? -- Paul - xxx |

I would agree, it is such a pity that it is something like that, that gets into the news & normal cycling gets left out. But I suppose that good news is no news. |

It is possible that that is the "correct" (ie, accurate) conclusion to draw, but it would not necessarily be the obvious one to draw. Especially when and where the miscreants claim to be representative of cyclists (an implicit claim which they make no efforts to disown). |
