Unfortunately I believe this is a vicious circle. Jackass biker rides unsafely and pisses off a car driver, who then decides "Hey, who's got the bigger conveyance here?" and proceeds to treat all bikers like Jackass Biker -- and then these bikers, treated as Guilty Without Proving Otherwise, decide "Hey, we have the right of way too" and proceed to piss off more drivers, who proceed to piss off more bikers, and the next thing you know, Critical Mass is blocking all the Charles River bridges and winning absolutely no fans at all.
But I guess I'm not about to start my odyssey by purposefully taking the busiest streets in Boscamberville. Gotta start small and work yer way up. I figure the trepidation will subside eventually and I'll make it over to the Emerald Necklace by mid-2009.
Heh. I just realized that without local context, "Emerald Necklace" sounds like a location in an MMORPG or something.
