I read an account on the Wash. D.C. CM website of one of their regular rides. There were 20 riders and the evening traffic was light. I believe they were riding up 14th St. At one point the motorists behind them were honking irrately. A few paragraphs later it said that when they got to Georgia Ave., they quit taking all the lanes. 20 riders and they were completely blocking their side of the road? No wonder they were being honked at. On a multilane road, it isn't necessary to ride single file, but they only needed one lane, both for safety and to make their point. I'm not impressed. This is not the way to win respect from the motorist ranks.
