I'm really not convinced purposefully taking a CM back to the Olympic Park is the best way to pay respect to the person who died.
That it's even phrased "Solidarity ride" is revealing. There's no solidarity in death except in the inevitability of it for every living thing.
A far better way to show respect would be for a ghost bike to be placed with as little ceremony as possible as soon as possible.
It's an entrance/exit for press... remind them daily.
That I think is what should be done.
And if CM steers there at the end of the month as part of it's regular gathering then I think that would be a good thing too.
But don't go picking fights and call it respect for someone that died.
