PRIVATE CARS TO STAGE WEEKLY CRITICAL MASS PROTESTS IN STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO

CaptureSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The City of San Francisco has waged an all-our war against private motorists.

First, San Francisco painted the middle lanes of its main streets red to indicate that they were for buses and taxis only.  Next, the city painted the curb-side lanes on either direction green to indicate they were for bicycles only.  Now, private car drivers, including ride sharing drivers from Uber and Lyft,  can’t turn left or right on Market Street.

Well, private car owners have just about had it.

Remember Critical Mass?  It is a mass bicycle ride that takes place on the last Friday of each month in San Francisco. It is a form of protest to uphold bicyclists’ rights.

Beginning next week, private car owners, joined by Uber and Lyft drivers, will stage their own critical mass, not just once a month but every week, on Mondays.  It is their way of protesting the fact that they are slowly but surely being phased out of San Francisco’s streets.

Like the bicycle critical mass, the motorists will drive around city streets, en masse, with no specific destination.  Their intention is to clog the streets and create a traffic nightmare for buses, taxis and bicycles, not to mention a big headache for the city’s bureaucrats.

“It is time we take the power away from bicyclists and fight for our own rights,” an Uber motorist said. “Cyclists don’t need to get a license or pay taxes and fees like we do, so why are we being denied use of the streets that are paid for by our dollars?” he added.
