What interests me about this ride is that it, to me, demonstrates every
mistake Critical Mass makes.
These riders weren't holding up traffic, they weren't "being" traffic,
they transcended traffic!
Isn't that the fun of urban cycle commuting?
I'm not recommending freeway cycling as something people should do, but
as a fluid, physical demonstration of the absurdity of gridlock
commuting (and the available escape hatch), it was lovely.
