Loop introduces herself as the author of the topless-ride initiative, “which God stopped with a blizzard,” she adds. “Damn him!”"

(anti critical mass post) critical mass makes cycling seem like an extreme, activist activity: "He'll realise that in order to ride his bike he would have to infiltrate a sub-culture populated by individuals very unlike himself."
