Annual (though org+sponsors changed this year) urban hellhole bike race was today. It's a fun time in large part because the powers that be don't enforce the 'no drinking in the parks' rule and pretend not to notice. I don't have a problem with the rules, though I do think they should be enforced irregularly, and the punishment should be to kick your ass out of the park and not any criminal offense. Alcohol and crowds can be a problem, so shutting it all down should be an option, but often it's all quite harmless and people should be allowed to enjoy a nice Spring day.
