They are a eco-terrorist organization, with members routinely catching beatings from local citizens and police. They ride around like idiots disrupting traffic and causing chaos in big cities. What else would you like to know?

+1. I don't know what the purpose of critical mass is, but their only accomplishment is to make motorists hate cyclists even more than they do now. Every year I see Youtube videos of cyclists getting run down by cars at critical mass events - so there are injuries and lawsuits and property damage, I guess that goes together well with the anger and stupidity these events promote.

Is that street downhill, or does everyone haul ass on a bike in SD?

I don't get it. A bunch of people ride bikes together, blocking off traffic... how does that make them terrorists?

There are constantly people riding bikes in NYC weaving in and out of traffic....

They were all riding up hill. I didn't know what it was when I firist saw this. It looked really cool, although quite dangerous. Well, there's risk in anything we do; even driving our S2Ks...
