Are any other forum member familiar with this movement? If not I added a link to the wikipedia page, so you can at least get some familiarity with it. I was thinking about it because a trial recently started for a 2008 incident in which a cop performed what looked like a linebacker type hit on a cyclist, slamming him into the ground. I think the cops unprovoked actions are absolutely reprehensible, but in researching these critcal mass rides, they seem deliberately disruptive and show little to no concern for motorists and no road etiquette whatsoever.
I'm just curious what other users think. Are they getting a bad rap, or are they really like this? I've never been on one of these rides, nor have I ever seen one in person. From what I can see, they aren't real cyclists, just people on bikes trying to cause a stir. Ultimately, doing a disservice to cycling as a whole.
Thoughts?
