Depends on who you're trying to appeal to, I guess. I've talked to plenty of people who were sort of tentative bicyclists, who found enough empowerment through a few Critical Mass rides to become much more self-confident in asserting their right to the road. I don't think you're going to persuade the pathetic lazy car people of anything no matter which way you go. I get yelled at to "get on the sidewalk" no matter how law-abiding I am (and don't get me started on the inequity of the laws). miguel
