Corking traffic, and giving angry motorists 'the business' is one thing, because we have a right to be there etc, etc... but inside a building? that's just not cool. There is no place in a corridor for a pedestrian to get out of the way from a bicycle, in that situation we are analogous to cars driving down bike lanes & sidewalks. We dont have a right to be there. The December ride sounds like it may have been fun, but really it just made CM riders look like real a-holes.<BR></DIV>
