It seems the UK police have picked up the ideas of the NYPD on how to
crackdown on Critical Mass, as shown in the film "Still We Ride" ,
recently shown at the Matilda.  - see -

Sheffield's version of critical mass, also known as the Urban Cycle,  will
be passing the Matilda this friday, the 28th between 5 and 6, and ringing
the bell to see if anyone wants to come out for a ride - don't expect
hundreds of cyclists though 'cos Sheffield just ain't like that. Last time
we rang the bell and no-one answered - I wonder what will happen this
time?

Full pick-up schedule is:  Starts at Sheffield University 17:00, then
picks up at Collegiate Crescent, Winter Gardens, Hallam Square and
Matilda. After that it's up for grabs but riders can be safely dropped off
at their starting point if required. You need a serviceable bike and
lights. Optional pub visit afterwards. For those who are going on
socialising we can show you where to leave your bike safely overnight.
