First, who do you know that is lame enough to refer to themselves as "revolutionaries" (names should be named)? Are they talking about their wheels? Second, the "status quo of civil society" is definitely not 1. liberal 2. made up of people who ride their bikes, so it is, by default, about disrupting the status quo. If everyone rode bikes instead of driving, then critical mass would just be called 'traffic.' FixedFiend: I'm all about checking out other kids bikes, but CM is most definitely not about checking out other kids bikes.
