Does she have specific grievances? I will admit I was a tad annoyed when I was 20 minutes late to church because the police shut down the beltway to let Rolling Thunder get by.
The thing was that the volume of bikes was not enough to justify shutting down the highway. I was on the ramp and saw the bikes go by with low enough frequency that they could have easily given the rest of us at least one lane. But I blame that one on a bad decision by the police, rather than on Rolling Thunder.
Don’t get me wrong. I admire Rolling Thunder’s cause. I am just saying that if other jurisdictions did more road shutdowns that was necessary, it may have caused some annoyances.
all toy runs are done the same way. Highways are shut down. Signs go up weeks in advance warning drivers to seek alternate routes.
