A Critical Mass in Febuary was stopped and dispersed after police declared it was an illegal assembly. Around 25 cyclists were moved onto the pavement by a contingent of 6 police cars and vans. The ride was not allowed to continue.

The bicycle ride started at the Central Library with circa 30 riders. It was the winter's most successful ride, despite the freezing temperatures.

After an hour or so, a police van and 5 police cars blocked the cyclists' way and issued everyone with a warning. A handful of people did manage to cycle away.
