This was a Critical Mass event, which is why the bicyclists are taking up all of the street as a way to reclaim the streets and protest the lack of safety for riders under usual conditions. It’s not legal, but protests are never useful if they’re fully legal now, are they.

      Not wanting people to drive bikes into traffic and through red lights makes me racist and worse than KKK? That’s a reason to bring up race and go after my skin color? Damn you are racist AF…

      You live in a fantasy world and are doing nothing but use the actions and words of great people to push your nonsense agenda. You should be ashamed.

        No, it doesn’t make you racist. You’re just showing the same moral failings as the white moderates MLK warned us about. You prefer an unjust peace to any struggle for justice. If you were in 1940s Germany, and you were stopped at a train track watching cattle cars full of people being taken to death camps, your only complaint would be that the train was blocking your path.

          It’s wild that you can claim to know exactly what I would do. A smart man would know better than to make such strong assumptions about someone’s character.

          Your logic doesn’t hold up because this isn’t a struggle for justice. This is people driving head on into traffic through a red light. By your warped world view I can do anything I want and say it’s for a cause, and if you disagree you just want unjust peace.

          This is paper thin logic hanging onto a concept you don’t fully understand.
