This was a Critical Mass event, which is why the bicyclists are taking up all of the street as a way to reclaim the streets and protest the lack of safety for riders under usual conditions. It's not legal, but protests are never useful if they're fully legal now, are they.

Personally I never cycle without a crowbar so if you hit me you better hope I won't get up.

I too carry around a 5lb bit of unwieldy metal for the sheer purpose of hitting cars if one hits me. I dream of the day it happens, I'll pop right up and go "Hey buddy, you like hitting things? well now I'm gonna hit YOU" (in my dream I'm not injured, and they don't get out of their car or respond in any way) then I hit their car while they cry. Everyone around me in the street claps. I get so excited thinking about it. That's why I always bring it with me despite it serving no purpose other than the imagined scenario in my head.

Hey me too!

I wasn't like that before my best friend got crippled by some text and drive bitch. Or after i got insulted, spat on, almost hit more time than i could count simply for cycling on the road

Also if i ever get terminal lung cancer i'm shooting at random cars lmao
