A second side heard from....
Maybe after she got hit by a full Big Gulp, the driver did get upset. Do we believe the writer when he tells us that Critical Mass is a family event, wiener roasting and kids in bike trailers, celebrating bicycle awareness? Or that the overreaction by the cops provoked the melee?
Do we trust our narrator?
What's the statement CM is making? If you ride in a (Friday evening rush hour) minefield, how surprised can you be when you hear explosions?
I'm sure CM is one of the things that's not too loud; I'm just too goddamned old. I flat don't get it.

The CM rides I have seen, in San Francisco, Chicago and Madison, have been deliberately provocative, blocking motorists, running red lights and generally ignoring the law and common courtesy. I would say they are provacative events. So now you participate in a provocative event and say you are shocked that the event provokes strong reactions? Are you out of your mind?
