Did you have reflectors on your pedals?

Yes, thanks.

Repeatedly hooting motorists were jeered.

Any well deserved rammings of cyclists?

So you approve of the deliberate ramming of cyclists by motorists? Why
am I not surprised? Have you ever rammed one or several?

"Get out of my way you f*ing cyclist or I will ram you!".

Just to get first hand experience of CM I joined them Friday, I saw no
ramming of cyclists

This was a possible ramming...

"...Another girl fell off in the Mall and hit the road hard. The
police provided assistance and many thanks to them for their help. A
taxi driver was questioned by them as he had been driving very
aggressively before the incident...."

Did the police *tell* you that they had "questioned" a cab-driver?

Did they tell you *why*?

How do you know that the "questioning" wasn't something along the lines:
"This [insert description]'s fallen off her bike. Did you see it happen?"?

What is it about the word 'possible' you do not understand?

BTW, I have in the past ridden in club rides, which similarly
sometimes ride on pavements and go through red lights etc., but they
are not deemed in law to be a special 'procession' as is London CM.

Maybe not but one ride is not necessarily typical of all the rest.

Doug.

And critical mess is not typical of cyclists.

Because the question ignored the word 'possible' I used previously. If
you are going to ask questions at least ensure they are correct.

I understand that when you use it in this context, it means "imaginary".

"Possible" = "Doug made it up".

My question had nothing to do with the word 'possible' but if you can't
answer it, then OK.
