FYI, the highway was not empty BEHIND you.

You're missing the entire point of Critical Mass. The entire reason this cycling event exists is to raise awareness about cycling in Toronto. Cars and trucks hog the road every minute of every day at the expense of cyclists who are legally entitled to the same plot of land. Commuting in Toronto is suicide. Just last week a cyclists was killed when some idiot opened a door without looking. I've been run off the road two or three times this summer already.
Now - admittedly, we were riding on a highway. That's illegal any way you cut it. However, considering the broader context I have little sympathy for drivers that are held up along the way.
As they say, Critical Mass isn't holding up traffic, they ARE traffic.
