If you are offended and feel the need to defend your particular event, please be advised...if it doesn't apply,Let it fly.

I wouldn't even say anything if this didn't happen several times at Bike specific events.

The kicker is that the last two CCMs' lead Cyclists to events, like a Pied Pipper, with no regard to where everyone would secure their bikes.

More recently, I am on board with the plan to navigate the Northside Critical Mass to the "Bike winter fashion show" as a fun destination.

The only problem is, I know there is not adequate parking for this event. Last time we were there(February CCM) The security guard across the street threatened to cut all our locks.

My only guess is that the coordinators of these events would be liable if they made any effort to help this situation...so they just do not address it.

I hope I hear positive feed back from event planners on this subject because it ultimately effects you. When you invite someone to your house, don't you think of where they are going to park their bike?... I do. It seems like you would create an event with the same courtesy.
