Cyclists to defy police in pedal power revolt

The Guardian

Up to a hundred cyclists will defy a police order and ride their bikes around Westminster to highlight new public order restrictions.

Scotland Yard has been warned that the monthly Critical Mass bike ride will go ahead without police permission. After last month's ride, the Met warned cyclists the event will be illegal without six days' notice and permission.

In a letter to the police Jenny Jones, a member of the Metropolitan police authority and road safety adviser to the mayor of London, said: "The police should be catching criminals, rather than making up stupid laws."
