Can we stop calling these things flash mobs? That is the term for an organized secret event where a lot of people participate in some silly activity at a predetermined time and place. For example, walking around talking to a banana like it's a cell phone."Improv Everywhere" is a group that puts on a lot of great examples of this.
This one is a lost battle.
[Obligatory prediction of eventual encounter between flash mob and CCW holder.]Hm. My boss is a cyclist and lives in the city. I will make sure she knows about this. She is NOT a CCW type, though.
Now why can't the DUY's (Disadvantaged Urban 'Yutes) strike when there's one of those Critical Mass rides?
Wouldn't be easy pickins.
In Seattle, some of the CM riders like to use their U-locks to smash cars that interfere with their rides.
A coupld of years ago I heard through the grapevine (must be true, right?) that a guy in a pickup who had a biker smash his windshield with a chain responded by twitching his steering wheel to the right . . . Didn't end well for the cyclist. Not wise to pick a fight with a guy driving a 2-ton battering ram.
