However, if hardly anyone turned up to that new meeting place and instead spontaneously turned up somewhere else in London that was familiar and which various groups of cyclists have used in the past, then that would become the new meeting place. Get it? BTW, referring back to the thread title, I see from the news that motorcyclists have been doing something similar which Boris objected to on the grounds that it caused inconvenience to others, which seems to be the common excuse for trying to suppress the human right of freedom of assembly and expression. I do hope those here will condemn the taxi drivers and motorcyclists as much as they always condemn CM and will also do so to motorists if they have a demo. -- Critical Mass London http://www.criticalmasslondon.org.uk "More bikes, fewer cars!".
