[*BCM*] A report from the front lines of last night's CM

[Mars]

The video posted in your blog post shows exactly why I stopped riding 
with CM:

That right there is counter productive and against what I would like to 
think CM used to stand for; showing that we are PART OF traffic, not the 
cause of it.

Is it really a surprise that someone got mad enough to push their way 
through that?
