So in LA, where 500 people will Spontaneously show up to midnight mass it was only a matter of time until somebody to raised the bar. They did what anyone would do. They massed the freeway. In LA. Without clearing the road.
It was during rush hour traffic, so the bikes were moving much faster than cars. As with everything, a huge discussion of rabid wordslinging has ensued all over the internets. This is by far my favorite comment from The Bryant Park Project blog:
Alas, the last safe haven of thy motored beasts hath been conquered. The freeway, the last mental sanctuary for those refusing to admit their mistake in purchasing an unnecessarily large combustion engine-powered vehicle has been violated. I can only imagine how such a bold stunt could shatter Angelenos' faith in the automobile. Will thy cyclists turn this shenanigan into a staple event? Only time will tell.
