This was a Critical Mass event, which is why the bicyclists are taking up all of the street as a way to reclaim the streets and protest the lack of safety for riders under usual conditions. It's not legal, but protests are never useful if they're fully legal now, are they.

Since when are cars the only one entitled to use the road?

Edit: Bunch of fucking idiots who don't understand roads or protests getting all pissy because they were told they don't own the road.

Cars are also not safe when driving into oncoming traffic. Thought that was obvious.

Huh, seen as how the driver here was unsafe, it appears you are intentionally misinterpreting what I have posted.

Seeing as I'm talking about the BIKES LITERALLY RIDING AGAINST THE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC, I think you're missing that that's what I'm talking about.
