OK, I've been reading these posts on the NYC CM rides with interest. And I just can't get past the idea that these rides are MEANT to be provocative.
Then I read here that six bikes are taking up a whole lane? What the heck is that? How is being unsafe, inconsiderate, and in violation of laws furthering the cause of bike advocacy?
I just can't believe that in NY everyone in the ride follows all the traffic rules. If they did, there would be no reason to arrest anyone.
I mean, if you want to be a wise-ass college kid and "fight the man", that's cool. But your cries of "poor me" are silly.
(Moxfyre this is not directed directly at you - it's something I've been thinking a while.)
