Black Friday Critical Mass San Diego Nov. 2008

[Valyn66]

How hard would it be to actually obey the rules of the roads? You guys do such a disservice to the very people you pretend to advocate for. Nobody has any problems with the law-abiding commuter cyclists.

It's only when you clowns form a giant blob of bicycles and deliberately take up every lane just for the sake of being obnoxious and raising "awareness" (yeah, like you're winning any converts with this nonsense - get real) that you attract violence.

[bmxrider640]

all of you faggots saying this is stupid must not know how to have fun. critical masss is sick as fuck and we rode through the mall for fun. try it and then talk shit

[teamfestus]

WOW, let me see if i get it, you geniuses bike where its designated for pedistrians, basiscally demonstrating its ok for cars to drive encroach into designated bike lanes? On behalf of every reasonable biker in the workd. please stop

[5them6you]

If you dont see the "point" of critical mass then you dont see the point of having fun.

[alberto619]

fuck all you assholes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

critical mass is the shit

[LoungeLizardLouie]

They should all be arrested and put in a jail cell with a big black guy. On second thought maybe not, they might enjoy it.

[jiminycracker]

this should be done more often - at least in auto zones - these walking mall routes are good too though - but only on specific days, for specific reasons -

[emolosersunite]

hell yea! F'ing rad. lets piss off everyone, so when they get in there cars to drive home they can get payback and try running us over. Great job, idiots.

[MacroATL]

Yeah, bikes rule!  I wanna see more of these "protests"...down with rampant consumerism and materialism in the name of "Christmas"!!!!

[Colddeed]

This is just madness.

[AdictusTj]

Great Ride.

This is my second time on a Critical Mass Ride..

and it was fun from start to the end.

We have our bicycle rides here in Tj every wendsday night @ 7PM, you're all invited.

[BarracksSi]

Sorry, but this is idiocy. There's obviously nothing to protest by using a ride like this in an area like this -- bikes are too fast to be cruising among crowds of pedestrians, and bikes already have rights to the roads they were using here.

So, what's left? A mob, that's what. A useless, pointless mob. Sure, they're not overturning cars, looting or setting things on fire, but they don't have anything to prove, and therefore, no reason to exist other than to be a hassle to everyone else.

1:08  2:56

[calamarichris]

I sympathize with the poor b@$t@rd in the orange vest at 2:53: "Great, as if everyone else on the road didn't already want to kill me enough."

Thanks for riding on the wrong side of the road, breezing through stop signs, and making the rest of the world feel justified disdain for we individual responsible commuters.

If any attitudes toward cycling and cyclists were changed that night, it is doubtful they were changed for the better.

[destroycivilization]

best way to spend a black Friday...ever

[Piccolojan2]

if you were wondering who that ridiculously good looking person is at 0:39 is..... it's me!

That was a fun critical mass, better than the last few I went to.

[crimsonlung]

Ooooh, I was totally wondering who that was.....

[BucketOfBunnies]

Please don't knock signs down. They became a hazard to the riders following you and became a reason for disgruntled security and shoppers.

it was fun.

[MasonMaysun]

1st song:

Cake - Wheels

2nd song:

Arrival (Bassnectar remix) - Heavyweight Dub Champion w/ KRS-One

[fdhsdfjli9ew]

What song is that when the group is going through Fashion Valley mall? I like it.

Missed the ride last night due to injury. Looked like fun going through the malls like that. Shoppers shrugging like "What the -- "?

[crimsonlung]

It was FUN, we were knocking signs down, scaring shoppers, good times.
