Good point! During the event near the park it's probably more accurate that I go the same speed as the cars, because people have to park on all the side streets and walk to the park.
Me on my bike going slower than cars: Of course cars are faster, that was never in doubt. There are a lot of other reasons I choose to ride a bike.

Ooh that's the good stuff! Especially when they get their own light. Lights up the pleasure center of my brain when we get to zoom through when everyone else is waiting on a light.
Passing traffic is cool, but have you tried never worrying about parking?
Same.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
