Critical Mass- Albuquerque

It's tonight, meet at 5:30pm at the UNM duckpond. I won't be there (I'm going to see Cats).


I'm not sure how I feel about Critical Mass. The idea behind it is to bring awareness to bicyclists, but these groups break laws while riding. So are they bringing the kind of awareness that they want?
When riding in a large group it is difficult to stay together. So to keep in a group the critical mass riders take up the entire road and block traffic at intersections if there is a red light. These acts tend to upset car drivers.
Wouldn't it seem like to bring better awareness to bicyclists to all ride legally (ride single file and stop at all red lights)? I don't know... Thoughts?
