London Critical Mass Halloween ride.

Another good ride, apart from a few impatient drivers.

Again corking was excellent and there was a large turnout. The ride seemed to split up more than once though. One rider had his rear wheel trapped by a bus. No noticeable halts or bike-lifts at intersections this time and no circuits of Parliament Square. A visit to Buckingham Palace seems to be becoming a ritual and riders enjoyed circling the monument and holding up their bikes there, away from traffic.

Do you just enjoy winding up motorists trying to get home from work?

We had 3 or 400 people on ours, didn't actually count...but it was too many!! The roads we picked for a while were too small, we had to wait ages and ages, for, er, ourselves, kept bumping into other people's tyres, people fell off for that reason, roadworks....finally we picked dual carriageways and roundabouts joining with the urban motorway, and had enough space to occupy. Hoorah, phew. Then off to party in the water park

see you next month
