  • If you guys know a better way to raise bicycle awareness to the public, let's hear it.

  • @blastofo by not doing stupid stuff like critical mass...

  • @blastofo why do we need to raise bicycle awareness? everyone knows bikes are on the road and part of traffic. this critical mass bullshit won't change anything.

  • keep on truckin

  • Wow, you got hit by a car riding in the middle of the road, serves you right dumbass what did you think was going to happen?

  • if u dont want carbon and sulfur being pumped in the air then dont drive idiot maybe u should ride a bike too

  • Holy shit, a rogue gang of bicyclers!! What are are these guys, green goons or something?

  • Only when they're chasing a driver do they ride faster. Such pricks. So obviously, they've been riding slowly all the time on purpose.

  • @Str4t0sPh3rE a matter of endurance

  • Theres nothing illegal about what critical mass does. Up here in los angeles, our critical mass contains over 3,000 bikers and is escorted by many police on motorcycles.

  • @xXBlackAwpsGawdXx I hope someone runs those vile fucks over to teach them a lesson, some day.

  • Keep your bike out of the middle of the roadway and it won't get run over genius!

  • So they are trying to make a point that they should have equal access to the streets, but then ignore all of the rules of the road?

  • The driver should have backed up and ran over him a second time!!!

  • It could be a lesson to Critical Mass cyclists, if they were capable of learning, or rational thought, for that matter.

  • Maybe i'm not paying attention, but I've not heard of Critical mass til just recently. Doesn't seem like I missed anything. Except for a bunch of douchenozzles on bikes looking to cause more problems

  • These guys are really giving bike activism a BAD name!

  • Critical Mass of Losers.  Kill 'em all.

  • If the next GTA game has critical mass bikers I will preorder it

  • @tainii1 STFUSB

  • somebody should drive up that lane in 4 wheel drive.

  • weither or not critical mass is a good idea or not...still doesnt give these f**king hickes the rite to just run them over and mow them down...anyone who tries this should be f**king shot...if they just let the cyclists pass then its all over....thick fuckers

  • What's the point of a critical mass? lol

  • @MindSeeR666

    Think Gay Pride parade on wheels

  • You know.. cyclists have to follow every driving law that cars have to. That means they can't travel well under the speed limit unless they're to the right or left of the lane, otherwise they can be charged with impeding traffic.

  • cyclists take over a road going the wrong way on it, this proves what exactly? fucking douchebags.

  • @Seemswrong That's not likely to happen since my child will know how to share the road with other vehicles like a responsible cyclist. You Americans have bike lanes? Be grateful and use them. Go see a video of the traffic in Jakarta and see what I have to deal with everyday.

  • @bimapringgo Your child may share the road and be considerate to drivers, but they may not return the favour.

    Many cyclists doing the right thing are killed.

  • In Texas you run into the back of someone else and it is your fault.

    This "Brake check" thing does not cut it, all the driver has to say is that a " " ran across the road and I stopped, try and prove otherwise.

    The same is true of any vehicle, maintain a safe following distance.

  • I'm glad critical mass exists. I wished they did obey red lights. When car drivers abuse you when you are on a bike on your own, you get really pissed off. The amount of twats I have faced on the roads is staggering. I think they should put CCTV on every road so that bikes and cars alike have to obey the law. I follow the rules of the road, why doesn't anyone else?

  • these faggots wonder why they get run over when they steam through red lights and dont bother looking out for cars idiots all of them .

  • What is critical mass? :O

  • THEY SHOULD ALL DIE BWAHAHAHA

  • You fucking dumbass idiots deserve to get run over. Fucking stupid cocksuckers.

  • I bet most of those twats don't even have saddles!

  • The idea behind "Critical Mass" is STUPID. So you act like complete jerks on bikes because of some pack mentality. Guess what happens when good old lone biker is seen on the road the very next day :) Yep! I am driving super close to that fool. If he tries to pass me inside my lane, time to make a sharp turn to cause "his accident" Or mabye I will drive in front of him then SLAM on my breaks, claiming another biker cut me off. Enjoy eating some rear windshield and paying for car damage.

  • @stevenabb I don't support nor participate in Critical Mass, but that's really besides the point. If you brake-check ANY cyclist and cause serious injury, you will be the one going to jail. (see the Dr. Christopher Thompson case, who brake-checked two cyclists and got 5 years)

  • I love the stoner commentary.

  • I hate critical mass. It destroys any credibility bike activism might have had in the first place. Bunch of fucking twats. They should be all fined for breaking the law, for one, and have their bikes confiscated for causing massive traffic jams that only pump more carbon and sulfur and what-have you into the air I breathe. Dicks.

  • @TheFlyingSwede Ahhh poor little baby are you mad? Fuck off asshole!!

  • @dan32749 Yep. And I don't know what makes me an asshole. I mean, really. Sure, my comment was probably written when I was very upset with cyclists for making me look like an ignoramus simply by association. Maybe if people followed the law, and didn't act like entitled kings of the road, cyclists would actually get some respect. But no. I ride. Yeah. Matter of fact it's a primary form of transit for me, despite how ashamed Critical mass makes me feel for even touching such a device frequently.

  • @TheFlyingSwede Don't worry soon we will all be rideing bikes and walking thank's to sheeple like you the nwo is takeing care of that right now eaahhh ewwww i hate critical mass aehhhh cry me a fuckin river sissy.

  • @dan32749 What did you just say? And really? Sheeple? Hah. Ha. I'm sorry, last time I checked, I didn't use super-common buzzwords, I didn't take part in massive group demonstrations /I/ don't fully believe in, and I think for myself, so, unless being a faggot atheist who actually does the research, thinks critically, and looks at things from the outside makes me a "sheep", then you're dead wrong. Critical mass took a good idea (more bikes) and turned it into something hideous. Think about it.

  • @dan32749 Hah dude. I just checked your youtube channel. Listen. I used to read into that conspiracy theory crap. Then I did some actual research, more than half a decade ago, when I was still a kid, literally, and actually learned some things. I don't believe in them one bit. I know there's no reasoning with you though. You're stuck in the same psychological loop as fundamentalist religious extremists. I'm not the one who isn't thinking for himself :P

  • @TheFlyingSwede Can i please have some more high fructose and aspratame go drink some flouride sheep slave you got church on sunday and work on monday sheep slave you got mass murder to pay for:)

  • @dan32749 Ok you caught me, I'm the grand wizard of the lizard people aliens. Someday I will rule the world. And we worship /reptile satan/. Get it right. You conspiracy theorists never got that one right. Not like anyone listens to you anyway. You're just cheap comedy for the general populace. Just wait till 2012 when Planet X arrives with our entire race. It'll be the end of your world when we turn the human race into mindless slave labor. Easy enough with our chem-trail neuro-trigger.

  • @TheFlyingSwede The people are already mindless slaves so get back to americas biggest loser and danceing with the stars nothing to see here move along:)

  • @dan32749 I don't watch TV. You're pretty good entertainment though. lol.

  • @TheFlyingSwede Never mind all the mass murder never mind the nwo never mind the one world gov never mind the plan to kill you and me never mind the invisible prison people live in never mind the real prison filled with monitary bullshit crimes nothing to think about here move along ' YOU BASTARDS" Baaaaaaa im a clueless sheep slave i love mt enslavement baaaaa baaaaa wicth way to my job i need federal reserve notes now baaaaa baaaaaaaa %$#@%$#@%$#@

  • @dan32749 You're hilarious. And possibly insane. Or the best troll ever. Whatever it is I'm laughing pretty hard right now.

  • @TheFlyingSwede Glad i could help:)))

  • In short, people like you make me loose my very faith in humanity. Plus, critical mass does massive damage to cyclist credibility. There is not one single way it promotes the use of bikes compared to the multitude of ways it makes people never want to ride one again. It simply ruins the image of "the cyclist". And when it's a bit extra smoggy from those people out riding, blocking traffic, I'm choking on the air trying to actually go somewhere. Because I'm an asthmatic. Thanks.

  • @TheFlyingSwede I agree. I am a year round cyclist. I do not own a car. I will say this. Though I have run into rude and even dangerous motorists I have never had one try to prevent me from getting to my destination. Critical mass is just asking for trouble and really not doing anything to improve bike safety or laws. I wish they would stop.

  • OmG here they come. WOW

  • If this happened in my town and I was driving high speed with wife to the hospital guess what I am not stopping. Critical MASS = nonstop bikes slowing down all traffic in all directions.

  • hell yeah run them all over, fuck em!

  • Comment removed

  • If the driver had the right of way this is the cyclits fault for running the red.

  • Critical Ass holes. I hope the driver turned around and crushed them like the whiney little baristas they are.

  • why do they create such traffic and not let ppl pass throught to go to work or whatever? douchebags

  • Cyclists are supposed to get out of the way when a real vehcle is behind them. I applaud whoever ran that person down, as well as any others who do so. These anti-social acts cost millions of dollars in wasted productivity (as motorists usualy have jobs they need to get to) Just because they have nothing better to do doesn't mean that everyone else has time to waste with there nonsense.

  • @sjtech88 no a bicycle is considered a vehicle on the road and it posses a lane. you treat a bicycle just as you would a motorcycle or any other car. just because its small doesn't give you the right of way

  • F these hippies get a car like everyone else

  • @TheLegitDex

    you mean be a fatass like you?

  • @DismantleTheEmpire hahaha good one

    

  • Should be called "critical-asshole's" instead of critical mass.

  • Im a road cyclist and I hate critical mass

  • They're like ants lol.

  • Cyclist faggots hahaha they like the least threatening people ever!

  • Why can't the bicyclists use stop lights like everyone else on the road? Critical mass is retarded, I ride bicycles and motorcycles and have no problem stopping even if my group gets split. Why do these people have to have the entire road to themselves? Useless, meaningless protesting, nobody even knows what they're doing! How does that send a message??

  • Critical Mass: Provoking other people and cry like a bitch when succeeding.

  • @Nomasain

    Any driver who deliberately runs somebody down, or is too much of a coward to remain at the scene of an accident, needs to be taken out of society. No excuses.

  • I suggest a course in physics. If you think a 14 pound bicycle can take on 3800 pounds of moving truck, Doc says it's gonna be painful. As for who is right... You could be dead right.

  • Well deserved..!

  • So tobytuber does your bike got a seat on it, or do you just sit on the post?

  • I would gladly run over a stupid bicyclist, bikes think they own the road and yet pay no taxes on it! So yes I would hit and kill someone on a bike and you know what I would do go home and sleep in my bed and they will be in the ground, if your on a bike don't be in my lane

  • @1990gliJetta

    so sad...

    

  • @1990gliJetta It's easy being tough on the internet isn't it?

  • @1990gliJetta If you're a lazy ass driver who plants your fat ass on a car seat all day, you have no right criticize cyclists. Drivers aren't the only ones who pay taxes, and drivers don't own the entire fucking road. According to your logic, pedestrians don't own the sidewalk either, so are you going to run over every singe pedestrian?

    Can't everyone just be happy with cyclists? The reason cyclists have to bike in "your lane" is because no one gives a fuck about anything other than themselves.

  • @eriicayy

    I don't think it helps anything for a bunch of cyclist to hog the whole lane and ride at 10mph. People gotta get to work, emergency vehicles gotta get places...these douche bags are just messing with the entire road infrastructure.

    Ride on the side where we can carefully pass you guys. It's not that big of a deal.

  • @1990gliJetta

    Bicyclists cause no wear and tear on the roads, nor do they use any fuel. So why should they have to pay taxes on them? Oh, and have you considered the fact that many of us cyclists also ave cars and do pay those taxes?

  • I'm a commuter cyclist and i hate critical mass.

  • @bimapringgo I agree - I ride my bike on a regular basis and I hate the critical mass. Wrong way to send a message

  • @bimapringgo that's why we have car free day in indonesia right mate? :D

  • Are you people accually not at all concerned about human life? It doesnt matter if you're on a bike or a car. We're all people! Voi vittu, mitä ääliöitä osaa taas olla.. Oikein säälittää.

  • woah

    

  • So these cyclists at critical mass are being stupid, I get that. But seeing some of these comments about the drivers being somehow justified in not stopping or even running people over, man I hope you people don't have children or cannot reproduce to spread your filth into the gene pool.

  • THEY LOOK LIKE BUNCH OF LITTLE ANTS... STEP ON THEM AND DIE !!!

  • Attending Critical Mass this friday. Ain't nothing gonna stop me.

  • God these cyclists look like a swarm of insects flooding out. Hope that SUV is ok.....

  • I dont drive a care.

    I rarely ride a bike.

    Cars own the road, and that is the way it should be imo.

  • @J801506 hope you get exactly what you talk about

  • Amazing how people are proud of being able to run a cyclist over while spending $4+/gallon to do it. Neanderthal comes to mind.

  • @purps45 How about people who have careers and need to keep them? Does that come to mind?

  • Yeeaaaah woooo lets ride our bikes in huge groups on large pavement roads with big hunks of metal on wheels moving around faster than we are, nobodies going to get hurt!

  • That was fucking sweet.

  • That's the way you do it...

  • look at ppl tryna chase the car LOL AHAHAHAHah

  • @xKJAl lol, and their not stop that car! ya, um.. whos going to stop it? lol

  • MrDarkShuter  but you're a stupid whore

  • The days of driving a car is slowly coming to an end......

  • hahaha

  • And that's what you get for riding your bike like a retard.

  • What city is this in?

  • I hope someone got the license plate. God damn, I fucking hate Stupid Useless Vehicles.

  • Its a very North american comment. Critical mass are no violent... you just gonna lost 4 minutes, they pass then you go. Its not like every day... its once a month. If your answer to the critical mass its violence then something its very wrong with you.

  • My god i cant believe this Critical Mass shit, all they do is try to piss off drivers so they'll hit them, i really hope these Critical Mass kids ride thru my town, we'll run them all down

  • @Zeroto90

    don't feed the troll !

    BTW you can find critical mass for cars every days, that's a traffic jam.....

  • @Zeroto90 Ha, you mean you''l try to run them down and go to prison.

  • they are all do-gooders and wank stains who haven't got anything better to do than to piss off everyone on the road.

  • lol you mad bro?

  • Well...if the light is green and im crossing through the intersection and just happen to hit some bicyclists who didn't stop at their red light then oh f**king well. I hate this critical mass bs. Only reason why these people are out there is because they think they're part of something big when really all they are doing is interrupting the lives of everyone else.

  • @sipher3325 Your life has to be pretty damn special and important, that you feel the need to run over another person just so you can get home ten minutes early in your cage.

  • @bored2kGER stop at red lights, dont crowd the whole road, ride single file on the edge of the road... wear a helmet,

    How is the SUV driver supposed to know that 200 cycles are going to run a red light in front of him. He has to drive thru them to get away, so they dont mob his car and smash his windows. He did nothing wrong and had no option

  • @sipher3325 over and over these critical mass cyclists cause accidents and then mass road rage the car involved. Almost every incident is cause by the bikes RUNNING RED LIGHTS.

    The car is following standard road rules, how should he know about their gay bike event and that it has magic red light running powers ?

  • @PlebScrubber Open his eyes maybe? It was plainly deliberate, since a lot of people were already crossing the road before he arrived.

    In most countries demonstrations are a civil right.

    Only because they run a red light does not mean you can deliberatly endanger them.

  • @bored2kGER If it was a properly organised event, the roads would be closed off with police everywhere. Its just a bunch of try hards running red lights.

    If someone runs a red light for their own benifit and at the expense of drivers following the rules, then I fell I have every right to endanger their life with my car, There needs to be some kind of repercussions for such rudeness.

  • @PlebScrubber Driving someone over deliberatley because they ran a red light, is the repercussion? Good luck trying to explain that to a judge.

  • @bored2kGER Your honor, I was driving along, the light in front of me was green so I drove thru the intersection when suddenly BANG, someone must of run a red light and hit me. I sure do hope that poor cyclists is ok, I felt just terrible.

    Case dismissed... and the cyclist can pay my court costs.

  • poor cyclists dont have any of the material possessions i base my life around.

  • why is everybody under the assumption that cyclists are all poor? just because we dont support a war inducing petroleum industry, it does not mean that we are poor. and if we are poor, then who then who the fuck cares?

  • dude you forgot the molatovs!

  • Fuck those faggots and their slow bikes. Get the fuck out of the way. Some people have to be at jobs and get home to their kids. Fuck you yuppy bitches.

  • everyone hates these low lifes. critical mass is just like the plague everyone avoids.

  • you understand that its a protest right? ... eventually if this happens in enough cities, they would start planning them better for bike use... then bikes wont have to share the road with cars as much. More public transport wouldn't be a bad thing either.

    Until then , when commuting to work, don't be stupid.

  • These people are not cyclists they are people on bikes.

  • @huckfinn12453 actually "people on bikes" are what cyclists are

  • @7garlic6 Just because you can throw a football does that make you a football player? No. Because you can cut a steak are you a surgeon? No. I think you see what I'm getting at here but just incase you are that dumb, which wouldn't surprise me, I will elaborate. Just because you can ride a bike does not make you a cyclist. These "cyclists", as you would call them, are simply protestors on bikes, they are not cyclists.

  • @huckfinn12453 They might not all by enthusiasts and bike competitively but they are cyclists, look up the definition if you think your so smart. I would say that the majority of people ride their bikes a lot as well and are out to support something that will truly benefit them not just be annoying and a hater like yourself.

  • @7garlic6

    You really want to play pull out a dictionary? Well first when you pull out your dictionary go ahead and read up on some of the grammar rules found in the front and also while you have it open look up the word by. I believe that you meant to use the word be but you may want to check the dictionary on that I'm not that smart. "The majority of people ride their bikes a lot as well?" So thats why I get beer bottles and soda cups thrown at me when I ride. They just want to support cycling

  • @7garlic6

    But yes they ride and I am glad they do I just wish they would do it in a legal way and in a way that does not give cycling a bad image or give drivers a reason to hate cyclists. Is the idea of having a ride to show easy alternative ways of transportation a good one? Yes. Davis CA is almost a cycle only town and it works great in Davis but it doesn't work great everywhere and irritating drivers, like the one who barged through, will not sway them to support your side.

  • @huckfinn12453 yeah I agree with that I was just making the point that your first comment didn't really make sense I didn't want to start a stupid fight. but just for the next time try to stay on topic when your arguing something or you pretty much admit that you were wrong. I know my grammar isn't good but we are on youtube not at school. But I am happy to see we agree that they do need to go about promoting it in a more acceptable way

  • these people make cyclists look bad.

  • Critical mass of idiots.

  • I cycle all the time.. and respect the laws. Many drivers do too. There are exceptions on both sides..... PLENTY OF THEM. The concept of not stopping for red lights is just plain wrong. I haven't heard a substantial reason for it yet... "so the group isn't broken up" ??? wtf? too god damn bad. In the road? Follow the rules of the road!  Or get the F&^K off the road. I don't want angry drivers running me off the road because a masser thinks they have the right to ignore red lights.

  • these crit mass rides are a joke, as someone who rides every day, they give us a horrible name, many commuters know to behave like a slow moving viehicle, hand signals, travel with traffic, let faster movers pass, etc. if these guys just learned to do that and give that respect, i think drivers would actually not mind us being there

  • Check out Critical mass video from my country in winter

  • I love looking at these vexed responses because I know Critical Mass is being of critical character.

  • Why are the bicyclists riding against traffic on the LEFT lane? If you can't be bothered to obey traffic rules then don't b1tch about somebody running over your bike. I sure hope it was a $2000 poser carbon fiber bike that got crushed.

  • I agree. Drunk drivers going the wrong way on the freeway always end up in a spectacular crash. I love how these tree hugging freaks go the wrong way and then think it is the SUV's fault that people get hit. If they are going the wrong way it is their fault, so people should just drive down the road and the bikes should get out of the way or else.

  • @chunhaylee hey cash value of the bike has nothing ot do with it, i ride a pricy ass bike myself. however, yeah i see cyclists do this all the time forgetting that they are a viehicle in traffic and have all the same laws. in a car i always peel my eyes on the intersections ahead, theses critical mass people act like, hey we are in a big group, we can do whatever we want with immunity. jackasses

  • @chunhaylee who the fuck are you? if you cant keep your planet clean, better not bitch when your lungs are fucked up at a early age. Get a bike, stop being a fat bitch, dont say your a ripped ass fool, thats bull shit. Your a asshole. Clearly not just a bike was run over here. See, I dont get why theres so much hate towards bikers? like where does this shit come from? this people are conscious about their environment. There aint enough bike lanes dick! I;d run you over with my penis!

  • The Critical Mass Bike ride in Madison WI, to honor of the 3 bikers killed in our last ride 3 years ago this month ( as documented in the video: BUCKYSTEIN (#7) VS. Critical Mass ROAD RAGE! has been canceled. Death changes people, I guess..

  • @GeoffLafayette If it's getting people killed, maybe it shouldn't be done?  Just a thought.

  • @superhakujin Just a thought? superhakujin was the video: " BUCKYSTEIN (#7) VS. Critical Mass ROAD RAGE!" Just something that happened? I think not!

  • @GeoffLafayette That's some classy documentary film-making right there, I tell you what! :)

  • @superhakujin here's a thought... driving kills thousands more people than cycling... maybe IT shouldn't be done? Just a thought... since we're thinking.

  • @daregreatly and if no one drove cars, or trucks, or any transport, you wouldn't have your bike as i'd be sure its imported and not made locally to you.

  • You should need to pass a fucking test in order to ride a bike, cuz apparently some cyclists think they're above the law. If you think cars are gonna stop just because you're in a group, then you're stupid.

  • @w00tkid I'm a cyclist, I ride Critical Mass rides and I completely agree. Fucking act like a car if you're going to ride on the road so you don't get hit. Wear a helmet too, that pavement is hard... you'll hit that after the car.

  • @w00tkid

    Its a very North american comment. Critical mass are no violent... you just gonna lost 4 minutes, they pass then you go. Its not like every day... its once a month. If your answer to the critical mass its violence then something its very wrong with you.

  • @slaveworks So your saying it's acceptable to break the law even if it's once a month? Ok well then let me just run you and your bike over but don't worry I will only do it once a month so everything will be alright.

  • @jelloj253 are you fucking stupid? running someone over? really? you fucking idiot! why you even gettting mad asshole?

  • @LKevin213 I'm getting mad because im sick of bike riders thinking that they are above the law and that just because they dont have motors you can do whatever you want and get away with it. No I would never run somebody over I was making a point that just because it's once a month doesn't make it acceptable to break the law.

  • @jelloj253

    you must really really really love laws... im saying its just 4 minutes... its not the end of the world... you can wait and then go and do what you want... run over a person with a car will be the last human behavior expected against this. think if your child would be there and some ass kill him just because he wants to cross the street.

  • @slaveworks it's not four minutes dipshit, it's HOURS. And yes, some of us have families, work, and places to go and don't appreciate a bunch of hipster idiots breaking the law and running signals just to prove a point. When you're grown up and you have things to do, you'll get this.

  • @Defenseman619

    Have you ever thought of telecommuting?
