video of a critical mass bicycle ride in Paris France (April, 2004). Note the participation of walkers(pedestrians), skaters, and people in wheelchairs that ride with the bicyclists in the critical mass event.

The people in this event had just experienced one of the hottest summers in Paris France. It was so hot and for so long, that over 8000 people died as a result of the high temperatures in Paris, with many more people dead throughout France as a result of that unprecedented heat wave. You can find reports of this by googling "death" "paris" "heat"
