You know, we should all identify a light in our town that won't respond for a bike. Then at a certain time on a certain day, plan to be there with no other priorities. Just pull up to the light and sit there, waiting. All of us, each in their own town. After about fifty cars have waited behind us, and we show no intention of either running the light or moving out of the way of traffic, someone will call a cop. What better way to illustrate the malfunction than your own parade of irate cagers for the cop to see?
It wouldn't work on a Sunday morning. Needs to be after work on a thursday or friday, when people are tired and cranky and primed to call the police. When the cops get there and see the problem, make sure to tell them it's part of an organized event worldwide (including participants in Canuckistan, Italy, the Netherlands, did I miss anyone?). Some alert reporter stuck on the police beat will catch that reference on the log or report, and come knocking on your door with questions. Then you just tell him how often you have to either modify your route or break the law in order to get to the drug store to buy liver medicine for your poor dying aunt, Sadie. Public sympathy will mount. People will march in public places. Councilmen will cower beneath their desks in terror. The national guard will be called out to restore peace in the streets. It will be a major victory for motorcyclists everywhere.
