main incidents were cops fining people for doing the very thing they were doing themselves continuously.

One man was stopped for overtaking other cyclists using the empty right hand lane. Another one was stopped for riding on the pavement - these two things I saw police men on bikes doing.

As the man was stopped, one of the policemen (with no identification batch) dropped his bike on the pavement. He was told by a woman, with a smile: "oh treat your bike better please!" to which he answered: "What do I care! I'm not paying for it, the tax payer is!"

After the critical mass came the "Aftermass", in Shoreditch's Bowl Court. A beautiful party with the chance for all bikers and punters alike to meet, some for the first time in their lives, a project that is not run for business, and where people offer a space for free.
