Do it somewhere else. I hate it so much when they lock the whole city just because some people still want to bike even though they are over 12 years old. Same goes when they do that stupid jogging event. Do whatever you want, stop blocking the roads. I’m not coming near your house and then blocking traffic to play tennis. You shouldn’t either.
