Very nice video, showing Critical Mass at its best.
Interesting video.
Did the police instruct them to go through red lights, block traffic &
drive through pedestrians crossing on their phase of the traffic
lights?

"couple of cops hassled us, driving car through with siren then
stopping at front to tell us to keep moving. idiots. heard one cyclist
got punched in face and bicycle driven over by white van driver.
also saw a nasty incident with a trapped motorcyclist who basically
revved up and ploughed his way through several bikes, narrowly
avoiding seriously injuring anyone, but damaging several bikes in the
process - total nutter. people got pics and his number though.
otherwise great atmosphere."
I really cannot imagine how anyone (even a sanctimonious car-hater)
can possibly think that they can take the moral high ground after
deliberately provoking and delaying someone for *no reason
whatsoever*. It shows what the minority of motorist-hating militant
cyclists are all about very effectively.
What about the multitude of motorists nationwide who hold up traffic
during their frivolous quests, not just once a month but every day,
and leave their cars scattered along public roads, sometimes 24/7, as
a danger and obstruction to other road users?

What part of "no reason whatsoever" did you not understand?

There obviously is a reason which you do not want to understand.
Are you saying that CM leaves there bikes parked 24 hours a day?

No millions of motorists do with their cars.

"More bikes, fewer cars!".

It was not me who said 'no reason' but help us all out with an answer as to what the reason(s) are.

Having a look around the roads near me, I can see no cars that are parked on the roads 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
