We’re (properly) back!

26th anniversary. My healthy outdoor out-of-lockdown exercise yesterday took me to the embankment under the south end of Waterloo Bridge at about 6.45pm; there were no bikes or cyclists gathered there…

This is the month in which much of “the West” went into lockdown and physical distance as a way to deal with a pandemic.

There were reports that in that closed network that spies on every one, whether we belong to it or not, and is only accessible by selling your soul and friends, there was a debate on whether to actively promote the mass being cancelled this month as some attempted to for the last couple of months

We loved the London Critical Mass ride. It’s definitely one for every cyclists calendar!

We left from Waterloo and went around the city. It was great!

Critical Mass has no leaders and no one is entitled to make any announcement on its behalf. If there ever is any, the correct response to such an announcement would be for people to ignore it and make up their own minds.

We left from Waterloo and went around the city, smooth and swift along many streets of London. Including rolling [next to] Buckingham Palace, and the Tower of London

This and what comes next is taken from some closed network that spies on every one, whether we belong to it or not, and is only accessible by selling your soul and friends:

Exact words of a witness to the mass: “Some stupid f#&king cycle protest”

HappyCyclists: don’t be a dick because it reflects badly on all of us.

Also: don’t treat this downtrodden individual working man badly just because white van men regularly hate and KSI cyclists.…
