Ummm... don't break the law, and if you do, keep bikes out of it.
You'd kill a lot of work a lot of people have done over a lot of years to get bikes accepted as a socially acceptable and are a good thing for everybody (even if they don't ride them) by the general public by associating bikes with rabble rousing law breakers.
People who don't like bikes on the road will point to something like that and link bicycles with hoodlums and give all those who ride bikes a hard time because of it and tell others it's people like
that who ride bicycles.
You're asking on a bicycle advocacy forum and this could be the worst thing you can do for bicycle advocacy in Vancouver.
(Campbell and his gang
love it when these disruption events happen. They show the general public just how
ridiculous people who oppose his policies are. They make him look good and ensure his power will continue)
