Is this the one they were advertising the other day, something along the lines of 'we'll be going out finding rlj'ing cyclists'?

Yeah, it sounds fun, doesn't it? The closest I've experienced is probably the London Freecycle: cyclists wobbling all over the shop. I wonder how many people have died as a result?
