Critical Mass = Legal

I think I remember her.

My issue with Critical Mass (admittedly more so in my hometown of Jacksonville, FL... not seen it in London) has always been the way it is used to pretty much flout traffic laws and be assholes. I think everyone should ride a bike, but that doesn't mean I think cyclists have priority. Share the road means share the road. I can't stand it when cyclists just ignore the rules and act like they're so fucking special because they ride a bike.

And in my hometown, Critical Mass rides became an excuse for a bunch of Scenearchists to get together and show everyone how cool they were b/c they had fixed gear bikes and matching outfits. Then they'd all retire to a nice vegan meal afterwards. All this, of course, was bankrolled by their parents.

Cool. But this is *London *FGSS, and this does not really apply here.
