I thought he was the "Urban Cyclist"
Hes been at it longer than most people have had teeth and newbies just piss him off. ;P

Gin, Ethan, nice job. Scott's thesis devolved into monetizing Critical Mass? What a puss. Real time scoring: Active Trans 1; Critical Mass 1; The Urban Cyclist -1. Anyone know what the spread was?
Shifty Face kept on bringing up the issue that police escorts Critical Mass and that the city cannot afford that.
Question: Did anyone involved in CCM invite or formally request those cops? Or do they show up because it is good policy (an ounce of prevention etc.)? In the latter case Shifty Face is barking up the wrong tree. He should take his complaints to mayor Emanuel.
Did anyone manage to record it? I don't know either of these people but am now really curious.
We do just fine without the cops (and I think every cop who regularly "escorts" CCM knows that.)
Whether requested or not-- we are taxpayers and we pay for them already.
Kookbiscuits shouldn't be allowed to drive public debate with kookbiscuity ideas.
