I thought this was interesting. I have participated in critical mass rides for years and was impressed that this came out well for the bicyclists with riders winning the lawsuit. There is something magical with bicyclists "taking back the streets" from cars and hopefully some day there will be more roads closed to cars and open for this peaceful, economic and green transportation. The best thing about the rides I have attended in NY and San Francisco is the teamwork it takes to organize the flow of "two-wheeled traffic". Members bike ahead of the pack, stop traffic at lights so that the throngs of bicyclists can pass by, unaffected by the waiting cars. Honking sometimes happens, but mostly, it's a mellow affair. Something to think about within our oil-starved world.
