The atmosphere between cyclists and motorists is already confrontational; too many CM rides do little other than inflate that. KUDOS to the few out there that ARE civil.

Ever since I found there was a local CM ride, the thought has been in the back of my mind about at least checking it out. But when I heard about some of the shenanigans during the rides, I decided against it. There's enough hostility here locally, and too big a cross-section of drivers who'd willingly bump a bike off the road.

Someone else started up with the Critical Manners Ride; my work schedule keeps me from joining that.
