What happens when national/city bike day falls on the last friday of the month (if that's possible)?
It was an executive decision when it became political. CM was never seen as a political threat before the RNC convention. When you have people using CM as a vehicle for political objectives, then you got to think of the consequences. I'm not blaming or pointing fingers but riding a bike has or never will have anything to do with politics. I will sorely miss the peaceful CMs of yore.
