Couple of pics from London Critical Mass, March

Couldn't attach these to the video article so here they are instead.

A large turnout with good weather. I saw the result of three deliberate rammings by drivers, which resulted in angry confrontations. Its great to see cyclists supporting each other. Despite this the mood of the ride was exuberant. This time we were accompanied by a friendly motorcycle cop who helped with the corking and had words with several drivers. Judging by the accents there were plenty of foreign visitors joining in the ride which seems to be becoming something of a tourist attraction. There were also several impressive and powerful sound systems.

The congestion caused by drivers on Friday evening in London is atrocious. What are they all doing there? I'll say one thing though,all the red traffic lights are extremely frustrating, even to a cyclist. Maybe this accounts for the fact that so many drivers are enraged when they encounter CM.
