Do Critical Mass roller blade? Heading home through Kensington around 9:30pm on Friday and coming in the other direction was about 300+ roller bladers!
It was like 30 Seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens video but on the wrong mode of transport, flashing lights, whistles, a guy on a bike with a few sub woofers!
Was a little surreal!

I've done that quite a few times. Its not a Critical Mass type event, just a large number of rollerbladers heading around London. Its great fun and a fantastic way of joining bits of London up. They start from Hyde Park and head out on differnt routes to places like Camden, The City, Clapham, Barnes, West End etc. Great atmosphere and thoroughly recommended. I think they skate on Wednesdays and Friday's, plus a beginners skate on Sunday's.

The Friday Night Skate - it's ace!
First time I did it, it coincided with Critical Mass, and the 2 groups joined up - police motorbike escort and all!!!
Trafalgar square hadn't been pedestrianised yet, and it was shut off to traffic whilst 100s of skaters and 100s of bikes did a few laps.

The London Friday Night Skate goes out of it's way to avoid CM as the two do not share common goals. That particular night was a one-off as we'd be asked to proceed ahead of CM by the police.
The skates are strictly for fun and have absolutely no political agenda - I'll agree though it is awsome way to spend a Friday night (or a Sunday lunchtime).
