Vancouver's bike shorts in a knot for nothing

Globe and Mail, August 13
Author: Rod Mickleburgh

What is it with Vancouver? Mere days after the local media and citizenry worked themselves into a ludicrous lather over the closing of a single lane on the Burrard Bridge, oops, they did it again.
This time, hysteria levels were raised to a fever pitch about the Critical Mass bike ride destined to bring civilization as we know it to an end last Friday, with several thousand cyclists refusing to stop at red lights and being purposefully vague about where they were going. The horror, the horror.

I read that article, it was hilarious to see the play by play description. Seriously people need to relax a little more. 10mins is barely and inconvience, you would wait longer in a traffic jam!
