My wife is always laughing at me when I hand signal for the right turn, asking: "Do you really think the drivers in this town know what you mean?"...
Buffalo is a car town. As a bike commuter in a car town I am painfully aware of how clueless the drivers are here. For the common good and for safety, I want drivers to be aware of our presence and our rights as bicyclists.
On the other hand, this Critical Mass ride may have made the division b/w drivers and bikers wider. While couching their actions under the guise of increasing awareness, they got in the face of the cops and several arrests were made.
Is this the way to get our voice heard? You be the judge.
