this posting looks very much like a police trolling op.
the critical mass bike ride is an established procession, exempt from public order laws, as ruled in the high court.
by posting an "anarchist anti-olympic protest" starting from the same point as the usual critical mass, the poster is effectively giving the police an excuse to intervene. they can claim they have "intelligence" that anarchists are planning to disrupt the olympics, blah blah blah.
wonder who'd gain most from this post then?
as one of the comments observed, be canny this month if you're attending the mass. don't let yourself get kettled. there's thousands of police and even troops with not much to do. a kettle isn't out of the question. even mass arrests are possible - for once they do have the manpower.
i'm not suggesting for one moment that people should stay away, nor that they shouldn't drum up support, just remember this is a critical mass, not an "anarchist's attempt to disrupt the olympics".
by the way, i have nothing against real anarchists, in fact some of them are among my best friends.
