On Friday, July 25, 2008, Critical Mass bicyclists assault a motorist.
"a man and a woman in a Subaru station wagon tried to pull out of a parking spot. But some of the bicyclists blocked them, sat on the car and began banging on the vehicle...One biker punched the driver through an open window and another used a knife to slash the tires. When the driver got out of the car a male suspect struck him with an unknown object in the back of the head..."
i looked into this further, you forgot to include the part where the motorist got impatient and tried to drive through the peloton of riders and actually hit 2 of them. Obviously this doesn't excuse the riders actions, but neither should it condemn critical mass. this was just an exchange of bad decisions between irresponsible people.
Critical Mess! Obviously, you aren't sharing a road with cars and pedestrians but occupying and not following the traffic rule either. If you want to ride like this, you have to get the special permission for a event from city.
Holy crap, that guy on the tricycle with the orange flag at 1:18 is AWESOME! HAHAHHAHA!
