I don't think there's anything in the article, but it's a nice pic.
Edit: already in another post, with a better pic:

Now if it had said, "traffic slows to a crawl behind the bikers taking up the road..." then it would denigrate cycling.

I think you might be thinking a bit too hard about it.
It's a fact. Travel did slow to a crawl, where it wasn't all-out stopped. Airports closed, streets were closed. We did a live news shoot on what's otherwise one of the busiest intersections in Boston.
We may have been the fastest things out there that day (well apart from the dude who was riding a snow mobile down Dartmouth Street) but we weren't moving too quickly ourselves.
