Hello,<br>
<br>
I am just wondering, when you guys are in the middle of the critical mass,<br>
are pedestrians and motorists usually supportive? How often do you get<br>
motorists who basicly think that "bicycles shouldnt be in the road so Ill<br>
blare my horn for a few minutes"?<br>

It's odd you would ask this, as you seem to be somewhat of a Rhode<br>
Island CM organizer...<br>
<br>
But, in regards to a real answer, I would say it's fair to say that a<br>
small percentage of the population (5%, 10%) is generally upset with<br>
what is happening, the same percentage range is thrilled to see what is<br>
happening, and of the rest, about half are confused, and the other half<br>
are ambivalent.<br>
