Critical Mass is a celebration of bicycling...sort of like Mardi Gras on two wheels. Some folks get a little carried away with the feeling and do dumb stuff like ride against traffic which I don't think is a good idea for safety reasons. I think its important to remember that the difference between bicyclists breaking traffic laws and motorists breaking traffic laws is that cars kill and maim people.
I want to thank the Mayor for riding with the Critical Mass. His participation made it more fun and safe. I don't ride all the way with the Mass, either and I seem to remember the Mayor leaving the Mass near City Hall which is far enough. I encourage other folks in government to ride with the Mass to see how much more safe, quiet and fun the streets of Minneapolis are when they're filled with bikes instead of cars.
