Critical mass - beware

LORD Justice Sedley and Mr Justice Gray may know something that
science doesn't. Martin Gorst alerts us to their June judgment in the
high court in London that the monthly "Critical Mass" event was a
"customary procession" and therefore not subject to the need for
formal notification to the Metropolitan Police. But what is this
critical mass, you may ask?

Let the august judges explain themselves: "Since April 1994 in London,
as in many other cities throughout the world, starting in San
Francisco in 1992, cyclists have gathered at a set time early in the
evening of the last Friday of each month for a mass ride through the
streets... It is, of course, their numbers that make the participants
a critical mass in the scientific as well as the social sense."

Feedback has an urgent message to cyclists. As we understand the
"scientific sense" of critical mass, this means you must not get too
close together. We really do not want to find out at what density you
will explode.
