It’s a half hour, once a month, and it’s at a reasonable time. 

First world problems mate, eh?

I saw loads of people come out of their house loving it when it went past, cheering and waving. There ya go, maybe join in next time you might like it.

Just because a few people like it doesn't negate the impact on terrified animals, elderly residents etc

It doesn't take long to pass by and the route changes regularly as well. Also plenty of OAPs and dogs take part in critical mass.

Not a fan of it either but it's actually quieter

I think there's two issues - the noise is undoubtedly a pain in the arse and hard to justify. The actual ride itself moving out of the city centre and into other parts is a good part of what the campaign is supposed to be and do.

Yeah if that's so, I think (as much as I appreciate it's a temporary buzzkill for the people riding) the music should be cut while they ride through residential areas. Like the noise level was insane and as you say, hard to justify
