A moveable protest
Bicyclists protesting for more rights will try to take over the Griffith Parks "Festival of Lights" tonight with a ride through the area that is being opened to motor-vehicle traffic today.
The "festival of rights," as it is being called by organizers, calls for bicycle riders to meet at 6:30 p.m. and begin their ride after 7 p.m.
Organizers said participants should "adorn ourselves in the appropriate holiday decorations and ride in ritual protest, sharing holiday goodwill and cheer with the motorists who find themselves trapped in the awe-inspiring gridlock that is most certainly one of the best reasons to ask Santa for a new Bicycle.
"Bring a thermos, a flask, a friend or two and some bail money. After all, cyclists are forbidden from riding in the Griffith Park Light Festival! Holidays are for motorists!"
