Critical Mass

Critical Mass is such a fantastic idea. I wonder how many drivers on the road realize that bikers have the right to an ENTIRE LANE of traffic. 'Bout time this coastal, flat college town started highlighting the importance, ease and necessity of alternative transportation. Yay.

Rights

Yes, bikes do have a right to an entire travel lane, but with this right comes the responsibily to obey all traffic laws. Which most of them don't. Plus they should be required to have tags just like a car so they can help pay for this right.
