This was a Critical Mass event, which is why the bicyclists are taking up all of the street as a way to reclaim the streets and protest the lack of safety for riders under usual conditions. It’s not legal, but protests are never useful if they’re fully legal now, are they.

    I’m all for bike activism and fuck cars.

    proceeds to selectively ignore their activism and promote car centric infrastructure and viewpoints

      I don’t see banners. How the fuck is the driver going to know what the fuck this is about? Critical Mass in Germany is also inconvenient as fuck but completely legal. You won’t find dicks riding in both lanes. Get fucked.

          They’re called communities here. Should have known I was dealing with a redditor. I know plenty of people (most of them preferring the bicycle over the car) who are fed up with this kind of “protest” as it just widens the divide. The conservatives jump on that and weaponize it.
