And somewhat intermediate is the case of "riding to rule".  In SF a few years ago a particular cop ticketed riders for not coming to a full stop at stop sign on a popular bike route.  As a protest, a big group of riders took that route, and came to an absolute, foot down, full stop, one at a time.  It caused a major traffic backup, and the police decided to go easier on riders who only slowed at the stop sign. [/quote]

not the best analogy,  since they essentially overloaded the traffic system to make a point that they were above the law and didn't have to follow rules of the road.  if drivers did the same thing and ran every cyclist off the road everytime they encountered one as a form of protests,  I guess then we'd be OK....[/quote]

They didn't run anyone off the road.  Everything they did was legal and safe.  They did deliberately all go to the same place, but there is nothing illegal about that  - I mean they could have just been deciding they wanted to all see a particular street together.

That you can't see the difference between a cyclist stopping at a stop light, and a driver running a cyclist off the road, is telling. [/quote]
