The number of cyclists coming out varies depending on the season. They headed down Guadalupe Street, moved onto Congress Avenue and then took over Lamar Street. The cyclists demanded attention, forcing cars to stop as they crossed intersections. Motorists had a variety of reactions. A few laughed, others cursed and the angry ones flew down the wrong side of the street to get around the mass of cyclists.
People get so angry.
I've seen so much road rage because of it. No matter what reactions drivers showed, the cyclists pedaled their way through downtown, telling motorists to get out of their cars and traffic and onto a bicycle. For many of the Critical Mass riders, bicycling is a way of life. It's not something they do on the weekends or around campus. They do it everyday and go everywhere.
