Bay Area CM dustups, including the one you mentioned, are started by motorists recklessly accelerating into cyclists. Bicyclists fighting back are "man bites dog" stories in the context of unchallenged motorist-on-cyclist violence that occurs every day, which is precisely why they've garnered so much attention. Cyclists need to keep their cool and not attack motorists, even if they get hit, but invoking the "hooliganism" talking point is just manipulative. The sooner cities are safer for bikes, the sooner they will be safer (i.e. cleaner, healthier, more humane) for everyone. mgbrys stop the FUD and cite your sources.

I'm not sympathetic to "Critical Mass" after the attacks on several motorists in SF recently including a mini van full of kids. At that point they lost any good will they deserved previously. If it changes from hooliganism back to it's origonal mission they have a slight chance at regaining their credibility.
