Default Critical Mass or not............

There does not seem to be much demand for 'reclaiming the streets'
lately. Isn't it funny that when the weather turns bad and it takes
nearly all the cars off the road apart from the 4x4's, there are no
reports of groups of cyclists riding around in groups looking for
confrontation or even taking to the streets to actually exercise the
right to pass and re-pass without worrying about loads of cars getting
in the way!

I expect that London CM will continue as normal, starting at the same
time & place.
They will then 'reclaim the road' as normal.

Indeed and there will be fewer police around than usual. When 20
police cyclists used to intimidate London CM every month, until the
Law Lords ruling put them off and they stopped attending, the
exception was the December ride when the police escort was always
notable by its absence.

But where does the energy for central heating and charging up Doug's e-
bike come from? Most probably from fossil fuel of one sort or another
at the moment. Hope Doug doesn't feel too guilty about destroying the
planet?
