We had bicycle protest rides involving 400+ cyclists in Edinburgh in the
1970s. I know of several sportifs which involve many hundreds of riders.
When does a bike ride become a parade?

rbr standards: And the pedals have to have synchronicity. Isn't a
parade if everyone pedals as they damn well please.
Technical call here: are penny farthings exempt from the synchronicity
clause?

I think that record is bullshit
But how about this for a record, notwithstanding that several Bicycle
Messengers have done it before

And on the subject of Bike Messengers, almost all of whom smoke, it
seems that lighting up is coming back into fashion
Even Jilly Tar is raising eyebrows as she lights up whilst a guest of
the Iranians - scroll down
