2011-02-25 - Riders Down, Critical Mass, Porto Alegre, Brasil

Happily my friend has updated her facebook to say all injured are out of hospital, so none too serious.

The articles seem to suggest it was an accident, in reality my friend reports an angry driver accelerating thru the mass as they set-off, they'd only been riding a few hundred metres.

Undeterred, they're gonna reclaim the streets again on Monday.

RHB, would your friend be up to talking to a bike-friendly journo about this? If they're doing another ride tomorrow that's a bold and brave move.
