in an idle moment, i clicked on the indymedia link below to read what i thought would be a report and some pics of last friday's critical mass, and instead i found a reprint of a letter handed to cyclists by police effectively banning critical mass in its present non-hierarchical form, asking for 'organisers' to establish a route and seek permission six days before.

i agree with the person that commented and think the next mass should be spectacularly well attended. we don't have to ask permission to get together with like-minded people and ride our bikes where we choose once a month on our streets!!
