Three men have been charged following a mass procession by cyclists outside the Olympic Park in London.
Officers arrested 182 people for defying police instructions not to cycle near the Games venues as the London 2012 opening ceremony began.
A monthly cycling procession which normally attracts around 100 people was boosted on Friday evening when up to 500 people turned up, according to Scotland Yard.
Officers believed the increased numbers may have included other individuals or groups not normally part of the procession, with anti-capitalist group Occupy involved.
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) applied for conditions under Section 12 of the Public Order Act to keep the cyclists away from the Olympic Park and off the Games transport routes to avoid disruption to the big Games opening.
But the cyclists were held for breaching the order by heading for the venues in Stratford and using the Games lanes.
Three of those held have now been charged with various offences, police said.
Portuguese national Pedro Lima, 35, a media employee, of Windmill Road, Brentford, is charged with causing a public nuisance and failing to comply with conditions under the Public Order Act.
Unemployed Italian Dario Stefano Malaterra, 34, of no fixed abode, is charged with possession of a knife, blade or sharp pointed article in a public place, causing a public nuisance and failing to comply with conditions under the Public Order Act.
Andrew Bayne, 51, of Bradstock Road, Hackney, was charged with assaulting a constable in the execution of his or her duty.
A further 178 people have been bailed pending further inquiries.
A 29-year-old man remains in custody having been arrested for failing to appear at court in connection with an unrelated offence, Scotland Yard added.
The Met has said though it respects the right to protest that did not include disrupting athletes or spectators as the Olympics Games opened on Friday.
