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.

It doesn't matter if a protest is legal. The word you're looking for is "non violent"

Imo it looks remarkably safe as long as we ignore the person in the car driving into oncoming traffic.

This is how cyclists feel when they are surrounded by cars on busy roads because the cycling infrastructure is shit.

Except, cyclists can't kill people in cars with their bike.

So, lady, imagine our frustration.

Edit: spelling 🤦‍♂️

They feel like cars are coming from both sides of the road through red lights?

Where do you bike?

This looks like Miami. If it is.. critical mass usually has a police force in the loop they do usually to stop people driving right through the crowd. The loop is posted online about a week before and there is always police presence

I mean Ive been a part of many of these in Orlando and the point was to never cross into incoming traffic. So she sort of has a point. That is super dangerous. The idea isn't to give people who hate cyclist more fuel to hate cyclist. Have respect for all types of traffic.

This is a CM?

I have never been to a CM with oncoming lane blocked (or in this case - not really blocked).

Also where are the corkers?

Can’t see it; “failed to load media”.
