I'm sure there's a lot of wonderful upstand citizen riders in a CM, but as a group surrounded with all the other kinds of riders .. CM becomes a moronic event ... so if you participate in one .. you're simply contributing to the size of the CM... can't put it any better way then to call all CM riders offensive name calling... You can ride in a CM and follow all the proper laws you want. You can sit at a red light and watch hundreds of your fellow cyclists breaking the laws and holding up traffic. At the end of the day, it's pisses people off and it pisses off your fellow cyclists .. and you go on here to defend yourself or CM.

If its righteous cause or movement, why should you even to have to defend it for .. there should be oustanding support for it ... obviously there's a strong opposition to CM .. so keep riding it for those that participates in CM and just know many of your fellow cyclists thinks you're a moron
