Riders of Rohan Assemble! It is CRITICAL MASS
A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!! By all that […]
Fresh Air Flash Mob Debrief
Yesterday evening a group of us met up with Climate Rush in a London square. After a couple of brief rousing speeches we cycled to one of London’s busiest and most polluted junctions and reclaimed it from the cars. Lying on the floor with the pressure of four lanes of motorized traffic baring down, irate […]
The Solution to Pollution
Air pollution is a problem for other places, for example, Beijing, where all those dirty factories churn out the products we buy… or is it?
The Worst Named Companies in London (/ the Earthly Realm)
Water flows freely and sweetly out of the tap, so why are some companies driving around London in polluting heavy goods vehicles dropping off bottled water? Check out what i nearly cycled into in the bike lane on my morning commute to work…
Carl Sagan – The Sagan Series (Part 2) – Life Looks for Life
Totally awesome video from NASA about our cosmic destiny. Go widescreen and turn up the volume…
Borders divide; frontiers unite
Spine-tingling inspiration from the great man
UFO sightings in Rio
There has not been much news since although there have been rumours he had reinvented himself as a conceptual artist and had started a chapter of Critical Mass in Rio… until now. It appears that Mark has been working together with his co-conspirator Thais Medeiros and a group of extra-terrestrials. They are excited by the […]
Open Letter to the Costa Rican Ambassador on Shark Finning
I am writing to express my concern at the practice of shark-finning in Costa Rica.
Merry Apocalypse
Christmas is a time for family, tradition, good food and coming together to remember what is important in life. Right? Wrong! Christmas has been hijacked by the Dark Side and now is ‘the retail event of the year’ or, put another way, the peak of the annual consumption calendar, or, put another way, exactly what […]
A Critical Mass of dissent… on wheels
On the last Friday of every month something strange, spontaneous and spectacular happens on the streets of central London.
Grow a brain… then the economy
By being the only political party that backs a 3rd runway at Heathrow Labour stands out with a special kind of stupid. The rational for inflicting this fresh monstrous wound on our once green and pleasant land is ‘the economy’.
The 45 Metre Underground Club
The mile high club is for irresponsible yuppies. The cool kids are getting down and dirty 45m below sea level. A secret and fruity underground society has been spicing up European travel with sexy visits to the water closet while hurtling under the channel tunnel. Is our fast track to the world’s most romantic city […]
Home is a giant spaceship with a rejuvenating supply of psychedelics onboard for all the crew!
As humanity has extended its reach the planet has seemingly shrunk giving rise to the concept of ‘Spaceship Earth’. If you have to go journeying through the cold, black void you really couldn’t really do better then our 6 star vessel. This baby comes equipped not just with the essentials (forests to produce oxygen, fungi […]
Why bikes shouldn’t have to follow the rules of the road
Cyclists are safer to carefully go ahead of traffic and jump reds because this makes them more visible to cars. Making this illegal endangers lives. If it is legal for pedestrians to cross a road anywhere irrespective of lights… why can’t cyclists? We are of comparable size and shape and weight. The cyclist and the […]
