On the last Friday of September I was encouraged to go on a cycle ride by my flat mate.

I'm not even sure what it was in aid of but it's called Critical Mass in London.

Quite an interesting principle but can't say I agreed with it. I assume that it is to somehow promote cycling in London. It's a pretty cool idea, lots of people cycling around london, some people with trailers on their bikes with music playing and most of the pedestrians seemed to love it.

However, they do not stop at red light. We're not talking about one rogue cyclist here, we're talking about people blocking traffic at lights to allow the 2-400 train of cyclists to go past. The taxi drivers seemed very annoyed about this!

Anyway, it was quite an experience and I did feel like all of the drunk people on boris bikes were going to take me out and it was probably an average of 5-8mph so pretty boring.

As a side note, if anybody wants anything from wiggle - they are offering £40 off if you spend £200.
