Christchurch protest ride - Dec 5th

[sellywin]

Awesome turn out! Managed to finish work and join up at sockburn round about.

I guess I better put a photo as well.
This one is at the start and there are more bikes behind the camera and around the corner

That's a shitload of bikes. Excellent effort all

hi all, i was the one on the corner of riccarton rd roundabout with the camera.... got about 90-100 photos as the bikes went past. any suggestions on where to put the photos so people can look at them???

well done all, very impressive

[T.W.R]

Great turnout indeed

The only failing would have to be that once within the suburbs the convoy got broken up which lessened the impact slightly.
Though seeing the bus stopped in it's tracks on Riccarton Ave and doing a U-turn to avoid us was interesting

Top effort Knuckles....Well done

Have to agree with all the peole who are saying to thanks to the organisers. Also, thanks to Charles Lamb (used to have him as a lecturer at varsity, where he was also very good), I thought he spoke very well, and I thought he combined all of our thoughts into a pretty good 5 minute speech.

Lichfield Street full of bikes was an impressive sight! The smell of petrol, the sound of engines... excellent.

I used picasa, it gives you 1GB of storage, resize em' to 1280x1024~ before you upload.

Yes we must not forget the others that are unnamed and helped out.
So thanks to you guys and to the guys that held the traffic up so we could stay as a group as best as we could.

Well done Knuckles. Thought there was a lot of bikes there when I arrived but couldn't believe the numbers by the time we left. I think even the police were surprised (hence perhaps their holding traffic to let us get away together).

Some bloke took a close up photo of my left boot... Think he must've had a foot fetish.
