He was also concerned with the blocking of traffic not in huntsville, but in larger cities where this event is on a grander scale. I was at a loss for words of what to say. Mainly, I argued that we inconvenienced a few people at 7:00 pm on a friday. I find myself wondering what I should have said.
I would have argued that cars inconvenienced me every time that i ride, so what is 15 minutes going to hurt, ALSO bikes ARE traffic
