Wow, that is messed up. That person is going to jail for a long time. The laws protect the riders, as long as your bike goes over 10 mph you are a legal road vehicle. Plain and simple, it's the law. I forget that people may have guns and be dicks when I get in bike related altercations, I'm starting to be more aware. But, they may be violating parade laws, that I'm unsure of. But if I were to organize a critical mass I would do it in a rich neighboorhood. Come one what is a guy with an 89 dodge dynasty going to offer you in terms of compensation? Let a beamer hit me and my dreams will be fulfilled. I once saw an SUV run over a guy that was standing outside of his broken down car. We really need something to deal with motorist congestion in general (especially during rush hours). Those IBM commercials say they can do it with computers.
