Anyone participated in anything like that?

Yes indeed. Like the young couple in suburban columbus, OH who started biking to work 18 miles one way. They started it when gas prices were going up. Now they would not quit it for anything. As the girl put it: She is eating pastries and donuts every day and still dropping a few pounds a week. @”We are still seeing a huge upswing in alternative transportation use in our part of the country.”

Now, with some restraint, abiding by motorway laws, such as stopping at lights, etc, CM can regain its cycling rights advocacy roots. All ride in one lane (cramming it full of bikes, of course) stop at lights, be friendly, Sure, drivers would still get upset, but that's just the nature of automobilers, as soon as they're behind the wheel, the entire world is in their way.

I agree that it would be great for cyclists to be able to communicate sensibly with drivers about what cycling can offer everyone. However, no one needs to do anything to demonize "the opposition" (I assume you mean those motorists who hate cyclists or that think that cyclists shouldn't be able to ride on the road) have you ever talked to these people? If you have, I am surprised you think that anything shown on this strip is anything other than the cold truth. I am glad to hear about your local "upswing". Where I live (and in many places) there are still a lot of ... well... demons, such as the NYC police officer who assaulted a Critical Mass rider. Re:Cascade James
