The Streets Are Paved With Bad Companies...

About thirty people took part in London Greenpeace's 'Free the World' bike ride billed as an evolution of critical mass and protest pickets.

When the ride began and claimed it's first street, traffic became snarled up, mostly by the police. The first stop was a Land Rover dealer in Park Lane targeted for its role in supplying military vehicles to oppressive regimes. Passers-by and those in the showroom were leafletted. Police ejected those inside and the ride moved on.

It continued with cyclists leafletting shoppers around Piccadilly Circus before joining a daily London Animal Action picket outside one of London's few remaining fur shops. Police left and the cyclists had to cope with London's road raging drivers by themselves.

The BBC was next. Visitors to the 'BBC experience' received a copy of The Vested Interests - headlined 'Media Mogul Ate My Hamster' or why the mainstream media sucks. Shoppers in the BBC shop will be surprised to find copies of the leaflet in their purchases for some time to come (as will customers of newsagents along the route of the ride).

Niketown - a massive shrine to the fashion victim - was the final target. Security guards became a little overzealous and assaulted some of the activist's who were leafleting inside the shop.
