d,
This is a tough one. When I ride its usually alone or in a group of four or five. I generally follow traffic laws so I don't get splattered (with the exception of speed limits because I want that speeding ticket.
)The thing is this is such an effective form of protest that its begging to be done. In most places, cyclists get left out of the transportation decision making process because the gas burners have the numbers, the power, and the cash. Its a failure of democracy and a particularly ironic one since originally streets were paved with bikes in mind. This is a self perpetuating problem since without bike routes etc.. its open season on bikes so folks that would ride are afraid to do so. They should be willing to accept the arrest, though, since clogging the courts is also an effective weapon.
