Vrooombike!
Hmmm...
Critical Mass, as you might know, is where a bunch of people go ride their bikes because... uh... because... you know... riding bikes is important, even if you have nowhere to go.
What started in September 1992 in San Francisco as a gathering for people who use wheeled modes of transportation has since expanded to events in more than 300 cities worldwide.
Wheeled modes of transportation? Like... cars?
Sometimes folks get arrested.
"The war on bicycling, the Constitution and public use of public space has cost us all very dearly," wrote [Jason Meggs], whose organization [the Bicycle Civil Liberties Union] is assisting several Critical Mass riders in harassment lawsuits against the Berkeley Police Department."
Let's not overinflate what we're doing, now...
"It is a source of pure joy, and a rare reclamation of our public space heritage," Meggs wrote. "There is virtually nothing like it in this society."
Ah, yes, public space heritage. I get the feeling Meggs is also a strong supporter of pot clubs.
