    yeah the permit was to stop traffic, have cops running the intersections
    so it would be a constant flow.

    so they are just going to ride though, lights and all
    still gonna be a lot of bikes.

    It's gonna be gridlock from hell, I bet. But they are all there to remind those of us who need reminding to never forget.

    well it would have stopped traffic during a business day for 2 hours
    during normal business hours, I doubt they would get a permit for
    that during any normal week for such a parade unless it's a national holiday
    like the 4th of July.

    Just watched some news vids on the 9-11 ride to DC to see what is up. very impressive if they can get their hoped for turnout. I read one guy was quoted as saying many groups of riders will have to make their own way into the city independently as there are just too many bikes at once. It's why I like coming down for 4th of July celebrations, when you guys do stuff, you do it big.:D
