Well, I was talking out of the box, and I am not going to try to do or  
prevent anything, but I will say that it is bicycle advocacy by default. And it  is 
a party on people propelled wheels. And there is a degree of civil (important 
 word there) disobedience to it. But yeah, it's also WTF you want it to be, 
but  there is some baseline cohesion to it.

I have to insist that I am not a leader - because I don't do anything  except 
ride when I can.  My opinion is formed from experience with the  ride - and I 
am aware of how difficult it is to lead CM beyond a loose  gathering of 
individuals moving through the streets.
 
Okay, so it may be perceived by some as advocacy - but be prepared for  
disappointment when it doesn't do what YOU want.  I am merely trying to  get you to 
that point of understanding.  Over time, you will realize that  without 
substantial leadership CM will only achieve so much.  Often it  brings the plight 
of bicyclists down a notch as that motorist wipes the  spittle from her 
windshield.
 
I am eager to see what the 'royal' you are going to assign to it.   If 
nothing else, you can try and prevent riders from entering buildings.   (which for 
me fits well with the party-on-wheels definition)  You may be  able to succeed 
at that, but unfortunately announcing it on this list doesn't  work.
