I saw Critical Mass
and didn't like what I saw. I was coming on the bus (how else if
riding a bike is so dangerous on that road), and all of a sudden I see a bunch of cyclists loosely riding the road. Some of them darting to block the whole 3 lane road, and then back to taking 1 or 2 lanes. The bus driver patiently slows to their pace for a while, until he decided he had a schedule and blasted the horn at the unruly riders taking unnecessary lanes... First of all, nobody knew what they were up to. Some T-shirts, for example, would have announced their cause. And secondly, that strategy of blocking all lanes, doesn't make you friends. So the wild monkeys were in rebellion, but nobody knew their cause. A good slogan for the T-shirts would have been: "Hey, do like we did and come out of your cages. R-evolution!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Riding a bike costs peanuts --which is why monkeys love biking" http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote88 VELORUTION! http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote91 |

And you can shove that concept up your ass, with vigour. I'm hereby suspecting you of being a Nazi with ulterior motives, and trying to establish a bundt. Phf**** you. -- Nothing is safe from me.
