Critical Mass bike ride Philadelphia, May 2008

[MsMesem]

Great idea! So many cyclists are killed by ignorant automobile drivers, I almost joined them.

[HowardFair]

Thanks for your comment. @UGURAKILLI One of many fair criticisms of Critical Mass that it's hard for people to tell what's going on but you hit the nail on the head. The point of Critical Mass is for a few hours per month people know that the roads are NOT just made for cars. I'm sorry that any one of my fellow humans would ever have to worry about anything, but having said that I'm glad you worry about hitting bikers. You like insulting people, but I don't think you're really a killer.

[BestTits]

Critical mass is illegal, the cyclists should be arrested for mob action, along with getting tickets for every stop light and stop sign they run.

[HowardFair]

@BestTits You might be surprised to learn that I agree that we should have the same responsibilities and penalties as motorists. But the Mass is a demonstration, and is not, in fact, illegal in Philadelphia. Perhaps you want it to be, but maybe you haven't given enough thought to what it's like to live in places like Saudi Arabia. But my guess is that you enjoy having the Bill of Rights, and are smart enough to realize that for you to have those rights then everyone else here has to as well!

[BestTits]

@HowardFair You are right I havent researched the law in Philly, in Chicago it is considered mob action, in addition to the numerous traffic violations for which a cyclist can be ticketed.

@BestTits

It's not mob action you idiot. Mob action is where there is violence, or something else disturbing the public. This is just a group of friends riding their bikes. Hardly a "mob".

[BestTits]

@DaringDirk100 mob action is just 2 or more people together breaking the law, critical mass is exactly mob action

[DaringDirk100]

@BestTits

Riding your bike with a friend is not breaking the law, dummy.

You're probably just too lazy and out of shape to get any exercise. I bet you drive everywhere.

[BestTits]

@DaringDirk100 If you block traffic or do not stop at stop signs or lights it is breaking the law. I ride my bike often but always obey the rules. A real cyclist is not someone who breaks the law.

[DaringDirk100]

@BestTits

Shut up you idiot.

[BestTits]

@DaringDirk100 illegal

Dude thats intense!! Is it 6 AM or PM? I wanna try!

[drexelur1]

Gosh! That looks like FUN! And I love the music that accompanied the video.

[xPlantpoTx]

id spend any weekend this way, i just dont like biking on my own, theres alot of assholes on the road as majourpainful implied

[XedStriker]

I was on that ride that day and I'm also friends with the person that was seriously injured. I believe he got pretty messed up but he was ok.

[majorpainful]

just don't cross the way with my 400hp, 2ton SUV you faggots.

[HowardFair]

Sorry majorpainful, but people have been threatening to kill me with their cars for the past 30 years but none of them really have the balls to do it. What am I supposed to think? You're just a bully who doesn't have what it takes. I bet you don't even have a 400hp SUV, which makes you a liar as well as a coward. Nobody's afraid of you.

[HowardFair]

Hope to see you there paulfranke! I missed August myself--had to work late and by the time I got down there everyone had left.

[bikemanrel1]

every may you guys do this? if so what is the date?

[HowardFair]

Thanks for your comment, bikeman. This is actually a monthly ride on the last Friday every month. Happens in most large cities and some other places in the US, plus many other cities around the world. Philly's starts at 6:00 at city hall

[RedRooster123]

FINALLY! I have a name to what I see every month....soooo, anyone can join?

[viaductdream]

[blazon508]

0:48 Spiro flips his bike because his brake line snapped while riding a bike with only a rear rim, rear tires and tubes are for sissy lala's !

[HowardFair]

Thanks for the clarification of what happened, blazon. Couldn't really have planned a better stunt if he'd wanted to, in my opinion.

[reid1234567890]

[HowardFair]

Thanks for commenting. Hope we have a safer CM this month.
