Last Friday was the first London Critical Mass ride after riders were told they could be arrested at future Critical Mass rides. The Metropolitan Police demanded that the 'organisers' give notice of the route in advance. Thousands of non-polluting cyclists, skaters, bladers, and pedestrians along with soundsystems and samba bands defied the Metropolitan Police's clampdown on London's Critical Mass and the Government's ban on unauthorised demonstrations within a kilometre of Parliament Square -  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/10/326614.html

This Friday, November 4th is time for Birmingham's regular Critical Mass on the first friday of the month, meeting up at 6pm in Pigeon Park. This month is a Halloween theme - gears not fears - so come and celebrate cycling using non-polluting vehicles and travel freely round town with Brum's Critical Mass.
