I'm amazed those dip**** anchors could avoid discussing Alec Baldwin, Anna Nicole Smith, and Virginia Teach long enough to comment on Critical Mass.

Two of my friends received tickets at Critical Mass last Friday for taking the lane. Never mind the fact that the police ******* were blocking both lanes already... The judge is going to be so pissed when we all show up in court! I'm giddy just thinking about it.

Nah, the girl in the middle was definitely the instigator. Quite frankly she scares the hell out of me.

Is it illegal for cyclists there, to take the lane?? I do that all the time, here. Safest way to cycle on roads, and, as far as I know, 100% legal. Never had a cager complain about it, either. If they want they can overtake me easily.

What am I missing?

Let me guess--they had some photoshopped picture of Michael Moore and Hilary Clinton riding a tandem at the head of the CM pack?
