A March on Washington... on Bicycle?

(Riders from the UK are excused for not attending) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHY THE BANANA REVOLUTION? (home of the Dutch model!) http://webspawner.com/users/bananarevolution What a joke this is! Biker march on Washington? Gimme a break! In tihs land of NASCR and Detroit all like cities, using bike as a transport is impossible. US of A hates bikes. can you see that? US of Americans are not ready for utilizing bike as the transportation. You wanna ride a bike as transporation you have to get out of this NASCAR addicted USA. |

First of all, thanks for keeping this thread alive... Now, are you stupid or what? What does my criticism of Critical Mass has to do with this march. I speak for ORGANIZED MARCHS, not for wild monkeys blocking traffic. Live and let live, comprende? Bicycles and cars can coexist, provided we have a lane all to ourselves or we tame traffic. I'm leaving from Miami, and you? Keep heading east. *Always, ever east. Second star on the right, straight on 'til morning.

Boo-hoo. Shove your disinformation where the moon don't shine. I'm on you like **** on a blanket. Not really, you just look ridiculous. As you say, money is being spent elsewhere but on bike facilities. Your opposition is really helpful. |

Not only I contend that there's no route from Miami to Washington DC, but not even to Ft. Lauderdale through US1. That's right, when you get to the Ft. Lauderdale airport area, there's something of an expressway with little room for a bike among the cars going over 55mph. I haven't seen anyone biking it for that matter. So even Miami and Ft. Lauderdale are NOT connected by bike or bus. I'm sure most European cities would be connected at least by buses. Of course, both bikes and buses are part of the revolution. |

Sure, America eats up the lion's share of the world resources... But I don't think it's pneumonia. Perhaps cancer. |

a good reason for the Banana Revolution
Doug wrote: 'I’m all for living within your means, but your ability to make and keep a budget depends on having an idea of what your electricity is going to cost from month to month, and what the groceries and gas prices will be. The current crisis involved many people who were living within their means, who saw gas prices skyrocket and utility bills go through the roof. They were no longer able to pay their mortgages, and running off and joining the military isn’t always an option. Say they sell the house to live more cheaply, and get an apartment. Apartment rents are also soaring because everyone else is doing the same thing. I personally can’t downsize any more than I already have. I don’t even have cable TV. It was this “let them eat cake” philosophy that started the French revolution.' *** And there’s no better way to downsize but to ride a bike… and yet you can’t. I guess that’s a good reason for the Banana Revolution, right? |

Sorry, old man, time to retire and leave something for humans not just roaches... "Obama won, the senior citizens lost" Did you notice the old and mentally confused lost the elections and the younger voted for CHANGE (Obama) by a margin of 2 to 1? Change IS good. It’s what made humans out of monkeys. “I’m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.” -George McGovern A REVOLUTION FOR THE YOUNG? Sorry, guys, but this revolution is for the young --or at least for the young at heart-- who care about the future, and about a quality of life surrounding their needs. Regrettably, they are not being enticed into politics. Important issues like TRAFFIC SAFETY and BIKE FACILITIES are kept out of the political discourse. Simply, cunning politicians lure the elderly, who are easily duped with the politics of fear.* Remember the 2000 elections in Miami-Dade County. In other words: the Banana Republic relies on the old and ignorant, while the Banana Revolution appeals to the young and hopeful… * fear of terrorism, communism, etc. |

You god damn ****ing idiot - change is not necessarily good. How did you ever get to be so stupid? Were you born that way or did you have to work at it? “I’m fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.” -George McGovern Ah yes, McGovern - one of the biggest jackasses who has ever lived. Not hard to figure why once you realize he was from South Dakota. The best thing that ever happened to him was when his daughter died on the streets from a drug overdose.
