Wow that was one great ride, and it all went off from start to finish
without a hitch. Worst thing was me almost running someone over when my
brakes got wet in Dundas Square! I should be more careful. We heard a lot of
very vocal support and encouragement from bystanders. I think we got our
message out and I hope we helped people to consider for a moment how dirty,
disrespectful and dangerous their fuel emissions are and on the other hand,
how important their bodies are and their health is. The smog was very bad
today - which is never a good thing - but I'd like to think it at least
helped people who burn fuel reconsider their transportation strategy.

After the event was all over a bunch of us took a table at a cafe. A police
officer there figured out who we were and tried to advise me on the law, but
it is unlikely he is an expert and I think his restrictive interpretation is
very different from that which prevails. He postulated that people on the
ride had been 'obscene', which I know for a fact is not true having
witnessed the entire ride myself. He said there had been complaints, but
when I asked how many, he said "too many", when I pressed him, he refused to
divulge any number. His use of plural implies two, but when I asked him if
it was more than two, he declined to answer, he just repeated that it was
"too many". He then stated that police resources shouldn't be wasted, to
which I offered my full agreement.

The officer implied that they'd been trying to find us all day - which makes
me think - how hard were we to find? Perhaps when asked bystanders were
unable to remember which way we went, or maybe people got confused and
accidentally gave the police the wrong directions. It is possible that the
police hadn't actually done anything at all about us which would make sense
given that we didn't need them. It might have been nice to have a police
escort, but the traffic was manageable and the public was fantastic.
