    Inset: Cyclists take over Bristol for "mind-blowing" Drum & Bass On The
    Bike

    Thousands of cyclists are expected to take part in Dom's latest event,
    starting at the Lloyds Amphitheatre by the harbourside at 2pm on Sunday
    before following a similar route to previous events, up to Brandon Hill,
    Park Street, the Bearpit, Stokes Croft, Cabot Circus, Castle Park and
    finishing back by the harbourside.

    Jack spoke to Dom ahead of his London event last summer, the DJ telling
    road.cc it all started during lockdown due to "pure boredom".

    "The whole thing was a complete accident in that I didn't expect it to
    evolve the way it has. This has just become something amazing really, and I think the power of it has kind of overtaken any thoughts of an end goal."

    Speaking about his last Bristol event, Dom said it had been especially "memorable".

    "Everyone was getting involved, even the cars. That old stigma of cars vs bikes, it was totally non-existent because everyone's involved," he said.

    We sent Simon to the London ride to get the first-hand raving experience...

    Inset: Joining Dom Whiting for a Drum & Bass On The Bike ride – a glorious afternoon in every sense

    From my own experience, cars (or, rather, their drivers) are actually
    the principal offenders against acoustic space privacy with
    "drum'n'bass" emanations.

    It should be an endorsable offence - "driving without due consideration
    for other road users and nearby residents".

    Six points (at least).
