Bicycle Mayhem

Last night I was walking to meet some friends at Niagara on 8th and Ave. A. and I ran into Critical Mass which is a big bicycle tour that happens every month in Manhattan. This involved thousands of bicyclists peddling through Manhattan and shutting down traffic for a few hours. It's generally pretty crazy but this time it was more chaotic because of protests of President Bush being in town with the RNC next week. There are a ton of protests planned this next week which is going to make getting around a pain. I have heard protestors complaining that the RNC is disrupting the city when in reality the only people disrupting the city are the protestors themselves. Protesting never does anything, all it does is prove that you don't have the power to make decisions. If you did you wouldn't have to protest so keep displaying your weak presence in the city and we'll all keep laughing.
