The press will try to ignore this as much as possible. We'll see how much ignorance is possible.
It is hard to ignore over 200,000 riders and another 200,000 spectators, but I am sure they will try hard to downplay it.
I don't know how many bikers were there but there was a huge number. I watched them pass on Constitution Ave. for about two hours, then had to leave. Later I saw CNN show ten who met with Bush and just one bike on the street, leaving the impression like it was just a small show.
