The January 2007 ride of London's Critical Mass This time the cops decided to get tough with riders without lights and those who go through red lights and also with sound systems in the SOCPA zone. Anyone carrying a placard within the zone, close to Parliament, is liable to arrest if they do not have prior police permission. Cars are allowed to play their sound systems within the zone but not bicycles it seems. The video are 3min 40secs long in Quicktime (.mpeg4 9.8Mb and 40Mb) and Windows (.wmv 24Mb) versions. |

The September 2006 ride of London's Critical Mass This was a relatively calm ride, in contrast to July and August when there were hassles from the police.

Here a helmet videocam was partly used for the first time. http://www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk/ The videos are 5 minutes long in QuickTime (.mpeg4 17Mb) and Windows (.wmv 21Mb) versions. |
