Critical Mass - productive campaign to promote cycling or...

.... wanky students showing off their new Treks(and their devotion to
environmental issues in the vain hope of a bunk-up)?

The very fact that they choose the one day of the week when all the
real cyclistos are out on TT's or Audax runs,proves that they are all
posers.

I don't need 'Treetrunk' or 'Jupiter Sunbeam' to teach me about the
benefits of cycling.

Try getting British cycling's newest fan(Red Ken) to organise a weekly
or fortnightly time-trialling course similar to the London stage of
the ToB.
Invite clubs and individuals from all over Britain to come down and
ride it.
I'd wouldn't mind going up and down the banks of the Thames at full
welly on a closed-off and properly marshalled street course( I've just
got some new tri bars ;- )

So if these unkempt youth got their Leninist-Maoist tree-hugging arses
in gear then they could make a real impact.
3 laps of Piccadilly Circus blowing whistles ain't gonna do it.
