I read the blog and it seems to equate "cylist" with "Critical Mass
rider" so I have to ask... how many riders do you know that have been
ticketed for these "******** violations" when they were *not* part of a
Critical Mass ride and intentionally acting like idiots? (I use the
qualifier "and" because not all of them are acting the fool.)
Is the blogger's objection that non-CMers ride everyday under the
police radar and don't get ticketed? Complaining that not enough
cyclists outside their group get ticketed seems an odd position for any
cycling advocacy group but then any group that defines itself solely by
what they oppose- cars-suck.org for example- isn't really an advocacy
group I suppose.
