TIPS Dealing with the haters

Critical Mass We don’t encourage rude bicycling We don’t exclude drivers! I live in SF/Berkeley/Fremont… “If there’s just one gripe about

cyclists…” (we offer something for everyone…)

Admit when you don’t know the answer. Know when to give up. It’s ok.

Give it a try
