I just did a ‘quickie’ #’s thing and figured that 2 million bikes, at an average length of 8’ would form a single line of approximately 3000+ miles.

At my age, I don’t have much faith in my ‘math skills’ etc - No matter it would be one helluva line and even 10 abreast would be DC to NY or so....Now that would be a traffic jam and a half and the FOOLS would probably make them stop and pay the tolls.

It worked in “Blazing Saddles’......

Actually, to visualize the actual underway scenario :

   * Given the 800,000 bikes conservatively estimated for today's turnout,

   * Given 20' ahead & behind as following distances (yes, too close, but humor me),

   * Given your 8' per bike allowance,

   * 800,000 x 48' = 38,400,000'

   * 38,400,000' / 5280' = 7,273 miles, riding single file

Just imagine .. that's enough bikes/riders to set up a continuous loop from coast to coast with a couple thousand to spare !

   ** even riding two abreast, you're talkin' about a 3,636 mile column of patriots from sea to shining sea with lotsa leftovers !


    and that's just THIS year !
