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.

    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.
