Cambridge Critical Mass

Some Cambridge Critical Mass dudes are off to London!

London Critical Mass has been going on for 11 years now, but on Friday 30th September, those who joined their monthly Critical Mass ride, found themselves being issued with letters from the Metropolitan Police, threatening arrests at future Critical Mass rides.

So there's a big call-out to make the next ride a big one! Not only because of the letter from the police, but it's the traditional Halloween ride!

So a few of us Cambridge Critical Mass people who've been quite unsucessfully trying to start up a mass on the last Friday of every month (6pm beneath Elizabeth Way Bridge), are going to go down to London for solidarity and research purposes.

If you care to join us, 16:45 train to London, we'll be the people with the bikes!

"London CM meets at 6pm on the last Friday of each and every month. The first 45 minutes or so is usually spent socialising and the ride has usually left the meet up point by 7pm. On average the ride lasts about 2 hours but the time is flexible depending on who is there and what the weather is like."

Er... Ignoring woman in black for a moment...

The trip to London for three of us 'Cambridge Critical Mass dudes' was inspiring, it turned out to be a great mass to check out. Estimates of two thousand people... Many sound systems... Mobile Samba band... Halloween costumes... Oh, and a lot of bikes, trikes, roller-blades, skateboards...

Some reports from Indymedia UK:

So, plans are already underway for a Cambridge based bike sound system, more leaflets, more shouting and generally more mass.

freedom of actions and speach

24.10.2005 15:02

I strongly believe in 'Freedom of Speach', which is already at serious risk. We all know that BBC only reports what it is allowed to but freedom of speach has also been lost at oxford indymedia, who have lost 'or hidden in a place where it cannot be found' a seemingly innocuous article by Feeler titled, 'Have I found the answer?' and posted 21 Sept. People have been trying to find it and to find out why it was removed over the past few weeks. IMC have (at last) told us where to find the hidden postings but some of us have looked without sucess. One person even went through many pages, listing the numbers and asking IMC why it is not where they insist it is.

The weekend seemed to be housekeeping time and any comments referring to the missing article have been tidied away.

So now everything looks spick and span. Who would guess that IMC had done anything wrong? Keep clearing up the spills and denying everything and all will be well. You have learnt well from 'our' politians (or was it emenem?). You will go far on this lava flow of power which is corrupting you un-named Oxford IMC person.
