SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – They already have their own green-painted lanes in the streets of San Francisco. Now they also want immunity from traffic enforcement.
A San Francisco bike group unhappy with a crackdown on cyclists who run stop signs is protesting the law by obeying it in critical mass style.
On Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., the bicycle advocacy group, Wigg Party, plans to ride the Wiggle route, a popular San Francisco thoroughfare, in single file and stop at every single stop sign. The goal? To create an inevitable traffic jam for bikers and motorists alike.
It’s bad enough that half the lanes in each direction on the city’s major thoroughfares are already reserved for buses and taxis, but now private cars have to share the other half with bicyclists. It has turned San Francisco streets into a hodge-podge of red and green lanes, with private cars caught in between.
The Wigg Party argues that motorists should be taking mass public transportation instead of driving their cars in the city. “Well and good, ” a motorist argued back, “except that riding a bicycle is hardly considered mass transportation either.”
But bicyclists sure know how to rule the streets and overrule San Francisco’s laws. Through critical mass.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has threatened that if the bicyclists don’t behave, he will have to deputize the Dykes on Bikes to enforce San Francisco’s laws. Yeah, who needs the National Guard?
