The SF protest article was enlightening and entertaining. However, what organized/sanctioned/legal types of protests carried out in an urban center on the city streets wouldn't snarl traffic?

Seattle. Hard to imagine getting a protest together and organized every day. Not sure there's a point to imagining this.

I think that would be appreciated by all... It's getting a little hostile in here.

I appreciate that post, especially since I don't expect some of the remarks that have been made here and I work in corrections. When I lived in the Berkeley area I felt that some cyclists were nothing more than an effete bunch of snobs. And I rode mtn and road bikes at the time, during the 1980s.

It's kind of a pain in the butt making a complete stop on a bike, and it's easier slowing down and making sure it's safe. I hate seeing cyclists acting like they're time-trialling, flying past stop signs without even looking. Those d-bags deserve a ticket.

I work in corrections, and I´m shocked too. Shocked that some here are so naive that they dont recognize that some elements behind blm are focused on making it more difficult on all members of law enforcement to do our jobs. One of the LEOs killed in the last 2 weeks was a CO, and I stand with all my brothers and sisters no matter what beat they walk.

This thread had plenty of opportunity to turn around and stay on topic, but insists on running off the track into P&R. Closed.
