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.

      No. Protests should be done in a way to gain voter support. Not destroy it.

        voter support for what? most protests happen because there is nobody in the system that speaks for the people in the protest.
