Maybe they thought they were Futurist Bicycle Brigades
NYC bicycle abuseSo you guys might be interested to hear that I was arrested Friday night for riding my bicycle here in New York City. Yes, you heard me right; I was arrested for riding my bike, IN A BIKE LANE, in Manhattan on Friday night. I was riding during the monthly Critical Mass bike rally, which the city of New York seems to have deemed a criminal activity.
Lots more detail at link, including stories of people getting pulled off their bikes and thrown to the ground.
