To be fair to Charlie Hales, "riding wobblingly across Tilikum Crossing just to prove he's down" -- Charlie did ride Critical Mass with us once or twice in the early 2000s (or late 90s?) when he was a City Commissioner, back when he was doing things like supporting skateboarders' rights, The City Repair Project's guerrilla public gatherings, and a residents-and-business-owners-led plan for SE Division so that it wouldn't become the next Alberta Street. There's a reason so many people thought he'd be a more radical mayor than he's ended up being.
