If you live in San Francisco or several big cities around the country, you're probably familiar with Critical Mass, the once-a-month demonstration of bicycle anarchy in which bicylists act like they deserve to own the streets of urban America, running through intersections without regard to traffic laws and otherwise arrogantly harassing motorists and pedestrians all in the name of proclaiming bicylists have a right to be on the streets.
Sorry, bikees, but so do motor vehicles and pedestrians, both of whom have had to deal with this bicycle terrorism for 15 years since 1992.
It came to a head last Friday in San Francisco when a women driving a minivan was basically attacked by a group of bicylists, one of whom smashed her back window with a bike. Oh, did I mention there were children in the van?
We're all for using bicycles over cars to preserve the environment, but it's about time these terrorists on wheels were curbed. Either obey the traffic laws and respect motorists or your rides will stop.
Enough is enough.
The latest from the San Francisco Chronicle on this story.
