Speaking of Critical Mass assholes..
Bikers who are such flippant assholes about the rules that they ruin it for the rest of us. Case in point:
I'm biking home the other day and I'm on this bike path which leads on to this neighborhood street. There's another biker whos a little faster than me, so he goes ahead and we're both biking down the street. So we come upon a car stopped at a stop sign, turning left, obviously.
So the guy ahead of me on the bike does not stop at the stop sign. This is already against the law, but I don't care too much. I'll ignore stop signs if I see there's absolutely no cars in any directions. This guy on the bike goes around the car on the LEFT, where the car was turning, and the cuts across him completely and turns right, going up the street. Evidently he wanted to turn right but there wasn't enough room for him between the car and the sidewalk.
It was probably the most flippant disregard for someone else I've seen in such a situation. Asshole bikers, maaan...
Critical Mass, I appreciate on one level. Its important to get lots of bikers out there to accustom people to seeing bikers on the street. They get used to them, and it's safer for me. But ASSHOLE Critical Massers who hold up intersections illegally so teh entire "mass" stays together are bad.
