[history]
Downtown drivers, set your cruise controls to slow.
Critical Mass, the monthly bicycle awareness event aimed at forcing motorists to take notice of their two-wheeled lane mates, typically barely gathers enough momentum to ruffle feathers, let alone rattle commuters.
Today at 4:30 p.m. that may change.

So they plan to protest oil consumption and pollution caused by traffic by snarling traffic, consuming more oil and producing more pollution. Brilliant.

Actually I have found that a box of the old style jacks that kids play with, work even better as a shaky old man drops his jacks. Careful, you'll end up on a "Wanted" poster, courtesy of the Consumer Products Safety Commission! Seriously, I have a coffee can full of those things, too (my sisters just loved 'em when they were kids). I took a liking to them, too - they are just about the meanest thing you can launch with a Wrist Rocket slingshot. Like a miniature Ninja star. I mention these things purely for educational purposes, of course... ;-)
This might also be a good opportunity to try out the ol' paintball gun - with *frozen* paintballs. Non-lethal, and biodegradeable!

I carry them for my Grandchildren. They are too young to carry jacks. I can't help it if they fall out my shaky old hands just before some punk tries to run me over with his stolen mountain bike.

The MudRanger powered right through the geeks with relative ease, I'd bet; seeings how there's little (if any) substance to 'em.
Now for the cleanup, Mud.
...get that undercarriage powerwashed.
