Cycling parade in Whitehall tonight?
 
What was the occasion? I was cycling along Whitehall towards Trafalgar
Square shortly after 19:15 when the entire carriageway in the other
direction was taken up with cyclists coming from the Strand.

Possibly Critical Mass. Monthly mass rides starting from the South Bank,
in the evening, on the last Friday of the month. If a cyclist has been
killed recently, the ride might visit the site as a memorial.

I started a lengthy thread about this 2 years ago, to which you

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

Not exactly the same then because this lot was moving at a perfectly
reasonable pace for cyclists. Some were wandering so far over to my side
that they threatened to impede me but didn't actually do so. Given the
great width of Whitehall I was a bit baffled.

And that's exactly what it was doing:
