As a cyclist AND a commuter, I'm not sure how to feel here.
First of all, can some one explain to me what the hell Mass Affect is and why they can't leave a lane clear?
I believe in "Share the road", but only on the condition that is goes both ways. Cyclist need to share it, by staying tot eh right and letting cars pass. What the Critical Mass kiddies with no jobs may not realize is; Some driver have their livelyhoods on the line.
Some times, getting where you're going on time means the difference between employment and unemployment, among other things. If you block traffic, you invite the rage of motorists. Rage is not anger, rage is irrational, and it will fuck you up. Do not poke people with sticks, you will get hurt.
PS; I don't care what the ORC says. I mean to stay alive when I ride. Ride single file, stay right.
