About 600 riders went from the Southbank, via London Bridge, Bishopsgate, and London Wall; to Commercial Road in Whitechapel E1, where the previous month an unnamed 23 year old rider had been killed in a hit and run incident.

A white bike was installed at the location of the killing, and riders lit smoke and distress flares to mark where the rider was hit. Motor traffic was held up for about twenty minutes. The police arrived but did not intervene.

The ride then headed north towards Hackney but turned back west and headed towards Shoreditch. A brief downpour stopped the ride at the junction of Old Street and Great Eastern Street, so sound system riders could cover their rigs. The riders had left the road and were gathered in a small pedestrian area, and had only stopped for about ten minutes before the police arrived, threatening seizure of equipment and searching people for weed. The Met police patrolling in Shoreditch are twitchy on a Friday night and too keen to escalate tensions with Critical Mass – the ride has previous instances of confrontation with them in the borough of Hackney borders.

The ride then moved on back through the City, leaving the police on Old Street, and crossing back over London Bridge again in reverse, regathering under Waterloo Bridge for a wind-down mini party.
