Do the SF police arrest bicyclists from Critical Mass when they ram their bicycles at cars and pedestrians?
They must have forgot to tell us how many were hit.
Looks like he was exercising his freedom of speech just like the die-in crowd. Why would the police decide that riding a bike on a road was a crime why disturbing peace by lying on the intersection was not? However, he probably shouldn’t have turned around and tried to go through the die-in crowd a second time.

I’d probably be on his side if he hadn’t driven the wrong way down a one-way street.
It would really annoy me if I was driving on a road and could get guns pointed at me because some idiots are lying in the street and I don’t get out and join them.
So the cops were there (a couple blocks from PDHQ), watching the protestors block the streets for 7 minutes and did nothing? Orders to stand down no doubt.
SF is a lost cause. If NK were to nuke it, it would be sad.
Okay, a good sized bike could do some initial damage, but you’re on two wheels, not in a cage and your mass is around 1K pounds, with a minimal surface area for ramming.
SF? Had to be a democrat.
I'm so confused. Were they insincere about their die-in, and found the idea of actually dying to be unpleasant?
How lame is it to lie down in the road--but then get all huffy about finding yourself in danger of getting hit by traffic?
Why weren’t the police rousting these flakes from the street? You don’t lie down in the street. The street is for cars and motorcycles. This is pretty much common knowledge for most of us.
You can be pulled off a bike easier than out of a car, so yes, I do understand the motorcyclist’s potential concerns.
Besides, street for motor vehicles, sidewalks for people. Those that are confused about this should not complain when their “die in” has some real life dyin’.
