<WBR>BF, I like it... Jym hates to be pinned down and loves to roll and reroll the rhetoric (just see what he does with this).<br>
<br>
Your point about promoting biking in a positive way (while having a dang good time) should be what every rider aims to do in a CM ride, harassing people and cops is not a good or positive idea and could get us shut down just like (is it SF?)<br>

<div id=AOLMsgPart_3_64e2bcca-aa0e-4fae-90b2-366bc4cd2a90>In my humble opinion, the question posed was very much related to your comments. I ride CM occasionally simply because I like sharing and displaying my pro-bicycle values in hopes that more people will ride bikes. While I also ride for the fun of it, I feel that any behaviors that offend pedestrians and drivers detract from my goal. So although my comments may not be a response to any question or premise, and I would probably word it differently myself, I will say that I think it's generally "stupid to break a bunch of laws while on a ride." That's just me.<br>

I am writing because you made me curious Jym: false premises aside, do you agree or disagree?<br>
