Not sure. Last mass protest I can think of was probably against leg protectors in the late 1980s. From memory 17k bikes and 25k people.

Other than that we have just had the small scale kill spills and run to Wales against Brunstroms policies.

All the best

This is the last UK one I can remember. The "No to bike parking tax" in Westminster one.

Thinking I think my dad went to some sort of big bike protest in the 80's, no idea why though.

Never been to a protest ride, must be similar to the brighton burn up though in terms of the size of the group riding? just with a different agenda.

Some of the ones through london have been epic, the congestion charge one was awesome, bikes as far as the eye could see. I had a hire bandit so was constanly red lines it and doing burnouts.

I like the fact they thought outside the box and got loads of bikers to go on the metro as well.

Blue and yellow TDR250 at 3:35 in the video Cool Laughing

Why can they stand up to their own government so well, but as soon as a single panzer turns up, they tie their nickers to a broomstick

But they didn't. They were just completely outflanked as the Germans invaded Belgium so they could bypass the French defences.

All the best

I was taking the piss a bit - didn't mean it seriously.

I actually like the way they wont stand any crap from their government, but couldn't resist a bit of French bashing (especially as they'll be doing that to us next Sat!)

Don't French bikers stick a leg out rather than nodding - the guy must have felt like he was doing a very repetitive hokey-cokey!

Or a left handed wave/point which really is excellent and very easy to do at almost all times. It's worth swapping our road system over just to enable bikers to do it... Cool
