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.

    You don’t have to ignore the “power dynamic” since it doesn’t exist. In the role reversal let’s make it a gaggle of pedestrians taking up the entirety of a bike path/lane making it unusable for cyclists. That would poss off the cyclists just as much.

    You’re not oppressed but we agree about one thing, you are entitled.

      one set of people in invincible 2-tonne tanks

      other set of people on bikes

      Sure. The power dynamic “doesn’t exist”.

      You’re a fucking moron.
