A critical quiet week

Sorry, we have been a little quiet this week, and for a very good reason.
Bridgette has her exams on Monday and Tuesday next week, so is spending a ridiculous amount of time with her head in the books, despite the great weather outside today (talk about will power!).

The most amazing thing happened on the way home from work last night though. Upon leaving work I found a convoy of about 1500 cyclists cursing at snails pace along the road. The first thing that popped into my mind was 'bloody protesters', but as it turned out they were the best kind of protesters. It was London's Critial Mass.

For those of you who don't know about critical mass here is the basic rundown. In about 450 cities across the globe, on the last Friday of each month, cyclists get together and reclaim the streets promoting safe cycling. As you can imagine, i joined in, as i couldn't cycle past them anyway. It was an absolute hoot. There was a guy with a huge portable PA system on his trailer, blasting tunes out his ipod while riding along, Vagner featured needless to say.

The other amazing thing was the number of police cyclists making sure we didn't get run over in the Friday night traffic, very well organized indeed. There are two more before we leave London, and we will be there for both. The one in May is the day before we leave, so maybe we might be able to do a bit of publicity at the same time as well. Who knows!
