Pedal Power





Every Friday thousands of bicycles ride down a certain route through the busiest parts of the city and block traffic as a protest against motorized transportation, or gas prices, who knows. We caught most of it, but got the end on video. The cars were pretty angry, and even when there was a lull in the bikers, there would be several people surrounding the cars so that they can't cut through without hitting them. The cops don't seem to be able to do anything except try to keep people moving. The motorcycle cops do lead and follow the whole thing; blocking off the intersections as they go so that no one gets hit by accident or due to insatiable rage.
