Put CM into context. Its usually held once a month, whereas almost every other day of the year it's literally a critical mass of vehicles. And there are over 30 million of them on our roads. Have you seen the average speed of cars in cities, London included? Do you realise that almost all the congestion is caused by them? Do you realise anyone old enough to cycle and pay tax is actually paying a disproportionate amount of tax for roads, based on the inconsequential damage they cause?
Now, a procession (not actually a protest), is fine. But the problem is it's open to anyone. So with all such gatherings you are bound to get hoodlums who are only there to cause trouble..you'd see the same at many large rock, pop or rap venues.. you know the sort. Easy to spot but difficult to police. Said element aren't cyclists or even commuters, they're just people on bikes looking for trouble. And the more they do it, the more ignorant and dangerous the ignorant motorist will become, the more the roads will be that less safer for it. The biggest culprits here is the government. They are the one's who force so many people into such a small space. They are the one's who don't plan proper infrastructure. They are the one's who are only too happy to profit from selling petrol to people, than to offer then clear, relatively safe and altogether sensible transport alternatives. Driving is shit. Public transport is shit. Cycling is shit. Even walking can be shit and it's all because we are nothing more than useful idiots. So everyone get together and direct your disgust at the ultimate authority responsible for this chaotic mess. Britain's cycle infrastructure is so way behind other countries and the less of a shit our so-called elected leaders give, the more congested, expensive and altogether dangerous our roads become. Out the EU. Out with the corruption. In with putting our interests first. We can do this.
May I just point out "," is what the site assigns to comments where the poster has not chose a name under which to post so it is not always the same person .
I really thought you were trying to draw some sort of cock and balls with your keyboard .
Eeeelllo elllo what do we have here then? I see the down-voters have descended upon us again. Unfortunately for you (and whichever "force" you may or may not represent[!]), society will decide for itself - not you. Nice try, but poor show..better luck next time.
