On Friday I headed along to this Months Critical Mass. It was very strange that the Police weren’t there at all to do the corking of the junctions, and hold back any frustrated drivers. The two usual off-duty bike paramedics were there. It took a while for the mass to get used to the idea… Continue reading London Critical Mass September 2008

Cycling: South London Critical Mass
Quick catchup post. On the First Friday of July 2008, the first South London Critical Mass was held. On the way I done some mapping for OSM, finding some unnamed roads. I find Critical Mass useful for learning your way around London (or wherever it is held), as through random route will take you to… Continue reading Cycling: South London Critical Mass

When we tried to turn right from Princes Street into North… Continue reading Cycling: Critical Mass: Edinburgh June 2007
Cycling: Edinburgh Critical Mass
Yesterday I cycled in the Edinburgh Critical Mass. The idea about Critical Mass is to raise awareness of cycling. A large group of cyclists just get together and cycle around a city as a group. It is completely unorganised except the starting location and time. No route is planned in advance. Anyone in the group… Continue reading Cycling: Edinburgh Critical Mass
