a disgrace?

Have you ever been on a bike in Manhattan? If you think that riding a
Critical Mass is a disgrace, maybe you ought to look into why they
exist in the first place: bicyclists (and pedestrians) are very
endangered every day on these streets due to terrible drivers and lack
of awareness.

Besides, this is a protest. Would you say that protesters walking down
5th avenue are a 'disgrace to pedestrians'? lol.

Critical Mass rides have been going on for more than a decade in NYC
and are hard to miss, I suspect that the fact that you are posting in
reponse to THIS particular ride is nothing more than politics.
