Think about it this way. You are not a cyclist. You are in your car trying to get to an important appointment. 100 "cyclists" block the entire road yelling about whatever "issue" they have at that time. Are you going to sit there and think "Gee. I'd like to become a cyclist!" Or something like "These @#*&$%@ a-holes!!! ARRGH!" **********??? I feel that CM rides do more damage to our public perception than to improve it.
