    My photos can be found here. I could have done with a flash gun, was forced to bump the ISO up to 6400. Would have also helped if my AF didn't mess up as well.

    I assume this is what was being reported on on BBC Breakfast this morning 8:20 - 8:30 ish? There's a big TV in reception here showing mostly 24 hour news and I walked in (in full "lycra" having come in on the big bike) in the middle of the report from London. Then there was quite a good bit about Amsterdam, and Magnatom's tanker (inevitably) and someone being cut up by a blue car, if anyone recognises that bit of headcam footage. Stood there in my cycle kit watching the whole thing (thus ending up even later than I already was...)

    I did finally get to meet you Gaz or at least I heard Arallsopp say "That was Gaz" to me when we were about 20 yards further down the road! :rolleyes:

    It was a pretty successful action in the main, I think. Good turnout, and a good atmosphere. One B*W barging out of Parliament, apparently, but I didn't see any bother. Positive response from most pedestrians.

    I saw someone comment on the lack of women. I'd disagree. I thought there were a lot of women there. Nowhere near 50%, but more than the proportion of women commuters, I think.

    Oh - and I should have mentioned I met arallsopp en route, which was fun, but we got split up after a while. Respect to him for riding a bent in a very slow mass of people.

    I saw that happening, drove through a marshal and at several cyclists who got out of the way, marshall, jumped on the x5 which continued blasting down the road, all in the view of around 20 coppers, the driver was quickly told to head off in a completely different direction to where he wanted to go and away from the cyclists.
