The video shows cyclists and others moving around the junction at Kings Cross. Des Kay recited one of his poems at the end of the demo and was cheered, despite being manhandled by an officer.
Pedestrians on foot and people in wheelchairs joined with cyclists to protest against the polices of Transport for London, which prioritises motor vehicles over vulnerable road users. This could become a regular event.
Bikes Alive say, "Transport for London (TfL) is quite clear that it is deliberately putting cyclists’ lives at risk (not only passively, but actively by designing dangerous “cycle superhighways”), in preference to re-balancing road usage to prioritise people over machines. TfL says that nothing must be done to slow down motor vehicles."
