Nice! I haven't seen a street takeover in person, but it would be damn irritating if I got caught trying to get through where one was going on.

These idiots that perform takeovers suck. At least some folks seem to do it in out of the way parking lots instead of on roads an intersections. I think the cops need a new tactic. Surround the intersection/road, deploy spike strips, and then have a cop run in to cause them to scatter. take out all of their tires.

I have seen something like it with bicycles. I think it's a group called critical mass or something like that. They loosely organize hundreds or thousands of riders (up to 1000-5000 wouldn't surprise me). They then ride from one place to another. I've seen a couple. In one instance, it was anarchy where for about an hour they flowed through and intersection that I could see from my apt not obeying the light and not letting cars go (although some did force their way through getting banged on by the riders). In another instance, there were cops along, and the cops would sit at an intersection, but then when the light turned red for the bikes, the cops would stop the riders so that was better.
