Critical Mass of One

A post by Bike Snob NYC highlighted a video of a police officer pushing a Critical Mass-er off of his bike. Though the video doesn't provide what happened before this, it still seems to be an unnecessary action. However, BSNYC did provide this:

"People do need to see other people out there on bikes. They need to become accustomed to them so they learn to respect them, and they need to see how practical and effective they can be so they consider riding them themselves. Many cyclists illustrate this day after day, not only by riding their bikes to and from work during rush-hour but also by using them for recreation and even racing on them. A driver who sees you zip past as you ride your bike to work, and then sees you riding your bike to dinner later with a date, and then sees you going for a road ride that weekend doesn't realize he's seen only one rider—as far as he knows he's seen a bunch of riders, and he sees them using their bikes successfully. Effectively, you’re a Critical Mass of one."

I couldn't have put it better myself.
