YOU'RE the one who can't handle riders taking to the road as
traffic, during Critical Mass. That makes you the fascist.
That's because they do in a disorganized way, which in the
end helps the public catalog them as troublemakers, a label
applied to all cyclists.

=v= Motorists take to the streets in a disorganized way, as
traffic, and far more of them break many more laws and doing
much more damage. Yet somehow the focus in this case goes
onto individual drivers, as if they're individual human beings
or something.

=v= We should accept nothing less than the same consideration.
Those of us who don't live our lives ruled by fear sure don't.
