hey, remember me...i started the pretzel ride! sounds like its turned into a mini critical mass...NOT at all what it was meant to be. the pretzel ride was supposed to be a fun ride to eat some steamy hot pretzels with friends. many of the original members of the pretzel ride have stopped going (including myself) because of what it has become. turns out cars are allowed on the road as well as bikes. blocking the streets are not always the answer, ever think of the consequences it might bring to other bikers that encounter said drivers later in the day or week? grow up or form your own rides, beyotches!
