I am going (bikeless). I have arranged for two Tweeps to take me.

Sadly can't get there - 5.30 is just a bit too early for me  :(
Why should anybody steal a watch when they can steal a bicycle?

I can see this turning out to be a massive own goal.

Advocates keep banging on about how lorries and bikes can't mix, so someone will ban us from major roads.

I was there, I saw Jane, BentMikey/Wendy/whatever he's called at the mo, and was introduced to Andy from Cyclechat. I laid down on an old camping mat. Didn't go to Critical Mass, had too many bad experiences at it.

I've always felt this way about Critical Mass, too. TBH, it makes me a bit embarrassed to be a cyclist  :facepalm:.

Me too - If I was actively trying to discourage some activity I would organise publicity to associate it with death - like the health warnings on fag packets. Remember a couple of years ago when we all took issue with the DfT for their h****t promotion material featuring skulls.

Good to meet you. If nothing else, at least events like this bring cyclists together. Ride safe,

Andy.
