Thought people on this forum would be interested in the planned Critical Mass hitting South London (Lewisham/Lambeth/Southwark) on the morning of June 30th. Here's the info if you fancy coming

WHERE: Burgess Park (Old Kent Road/Albany Road corner) to wherever you like

WHEN: Thursday 30th of June, 8am until whenever you like

Grab your bicycle and your mates and let's form a critical mass in solidarity with the striking workers.

Bring flags, bells and whistles!

Meet up at the Old Kent Road entrance to Burgess Park

More info on J30:

This will be one of the biggest strikes in recent memory, with up to a million workers involved. Schools and colleges will close, jobcentres and university campuses will shut down.

The right may say that cuts to our services are necessary since we’re in a
recession and have a budget deficit, but the UK’s current economic problems have more to do with the rich than with us. And after all they’ve done, our “betters” are still at the top of the pile, free to
gamble again while it’s us — workers, students, the unemployed, the retired — who are paying.

We need to turn June 30th into a day of action against the cuts. This fight belongs to everyone, in a union or out. We ALL need to show our support.

Was gonna come to this and then perhaps head to the student march. Does anyone know if there is one and where it is. I heard Lincoln fields?
 
march from Lincoln Inns Fields to Westminster, starts at 11am.

London - central: 11am, assemble at Lincoln Inn Fields, WC2A 3TL. Music provided by Love Music Hate Racism. March to Westminster Central Hall, Storeys Gate, London. SW1H 9NH, for a rally at 1pm.
 
not a bad turnout for 8am on a Thursday morning - i reckon about 60 or 70 bikes. we had a nice ride around south London (apart from when a van and a coach unsuccessfully tried to ram us) and stopped for a while in Brixton to support the rally there :)
