Chaos is fun? Hmm… ok. Get a job.
Friday night I was walking home after a long day at work. The Critical Mass people stood between me and my bed. I had to wait for two lights for them to stop, and seeing that they had no intention to yield to pedestrians I ventured into the sea of bikes. At night. It was very scary and the riders were thugs and bullies for the most part.
I have been in many CM rides in the past. We always stopped for pedestrians back then. A sad sign this does not happen any more.
I don’t know why there’s any confusion about stopping for pedestrians. Seriously, I stop when I ride. People should always stop and they should encourage others to stop.
