In most major urban and suburban areas in the U.S., it's easy to take for granted that the streets are for cars - that's just the way it is almost all the time. That's what we expect to see and experience, day and night.
So, when you come across a road taken over by joyful people on bicycles, with cars stuck on the sidelines, it's kind of a delightful spectacle.  In fact, around where I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, that's called a bike party.
