Warsaw Car Killers Critical Mass 2002

[wvargas41]

I am too fat to get onto my bike

[IGattsI]

So the point of these demonstrations is to ride around like dick heads riding towards cars coming at you and forcing them to slam on the brakes cause you feel more important then their time eh hmm

[mrgribble]

I would love to see a group of cars blocking the cyclists

[MyNameIsDuffmarn]

you know what would be a good demonstration??? if you could ride single file down the side of the street in a good mannerd fashion showing you can get along with the motor vehicles. imo this shit is just plain stupidity

[2superstobie]

when protesters disturb civilian life of course the police get involved. an critical mass event obviously has the intention off pissing off any one around you in a car otherwise you would ride single file on streets and stay out of the way of traffic. i wish there was a car to maim you people

[eingangfrankfurt]

@2superstobie

everyday cars maim civilists and destroy their life. Bicycle riders do not disturb

traffic, they are the traffic. But Im afraid youre really 2superst upid to get this.

Make bike not car!

[MyNameIsDuffmarn]

@eingangfrankfurt idiot

[TheWeed323]

yes but retart bike drivers driving like is all road theres

[371971]

This happened long ago. For some time monthly Critical Mass in Warsaw is well organised, LEGAL event. City officials are informed and Police is involved in protecting the ride.

[jacmar44]

@371971 Exactly , moreover at this particular ride cyclists started to punch cars and throw fireworks at police.

[371971]

@jacmar44 and after that bikers used mortar barrage, and aerial bombing... dude, stop smoking that! :-)

[00StangGT00]

Label these events properly: CRITICAL MASS OF IDIOTIC PEOPLE DISRUPTING WORKING PEOPLE"S DAYS AND BLOCKING EMERGENCY VEHICLES IN THE NAME OF SOME BULLSHIT CAUSE THAT THEY THEMSELVES DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS. they should be arrested everywhere good to see it's at least happening somewhere

[trupman]

haha, I like those bikers. They stop cars and then they are surprised, when police stops them.

[ponuryrybak]

@mjpickify You do not understand essence...

[keirinberlin]

yeah, you are so right MJPICKify!

But, don't worry, soon there will be less cars, so the pregnant women can get by easier with the ambulance... ride safe! :)

[MJPICKify]

stupid idiots, go to the park or into the country and ride your bikes. This is just a stupid waste of time and police resources. What if there was an ill or pregnant person in one of those cars trying to get to the hospital. bikes are for fun, cars are necessary. twats.

[gaggotgaggot]

I HOPE THE POLICE GAVE HIM THE BEATEN OF HIS LIFE BECAUSE HE DESERVED IT.

[biker889]

Na ich muejscu nazbieał bym kamieni, i rzucał w tą tempą policje!!!!!!!!!!!Masa krytyczna rządzi!!!!!!!!!!1

[squidrocknyc]

Awesome vid, Love the drunk guy! CMWC Warsaw 2011, Hope to See You There!!!

[enterthetekken]

wow and i thought poland would be alot worse than america- i was wrong, you can just slap cops hands out the way when the touch you and not get your face smashed in!!!

[nigoroku]

lol streets are for cars and bikes.

you whant to complain about it then do it on foot or nicely on 1 part of the road, ppl need to get somewhere and they have the right to use the car if they have 1 like you to use a bike if you whant. PD 1 electric storm contaminates 100X faster in 1 day than X300000 cars in 1 year and its nature's work. xD, its true, just google it

[BestTits]

wow critical mass is dumb, so illegal

[dopeman5000]

no its not its the rise against this tyrannical shit world inhabited by greedy little humans that want to control the rest of the ignorant little humans that follow like little lost lambs.

[StreunendeKatzenGera]

yeah...

take your bike and reclaim the street...

the streets are ours...

ride on

[ramtes1971]

I bike travel to work.

People with cars dont want to give up their hegemony. The damage they cause to the world is legal.

[Bastet13cat]

yeah they dont realize that bikes were first invented & the very first rodes were not created for cars but invented for the bikes & carriages. They wonder why cars pay insurance & its forced because the car kills, destroy's and injures they r weapon's many ways than 1

[gotse1885]

c.h.w.d.p.

[zlibbin]

F*ck the police

[LtChicken]

its unfortunate that you only had to go through that. they should've confiscated every bike there. and maybe roughed up everyone involved in this stupid fucking demonstration of rebellion. grow up kids.

[lauralaz1]

a lecture on growing up from "LtChicken"....

[LtChicken]

really lol of all the things you could've debated about my argument you decide to attack a 10+ year old screen name? really? If anything you've helped me get across what I'm trying to say. Again, grow up.

[lauralaz1]

10 years old? your profile says you joined in 2006...grow up and learn to count.

[Skinless666Baphomet]

Ten year old screen name? Strange, your account's only 3 years old.

[masterexploder83]

learn to share the road little chicken

[LtChicken]

oh sure ill share the road, but if your dumb ass lays your bike down in front of my car dont get pissed when I run it over.

And critical mass's forceful control of the roads on rush hour once a month is sure an awesome example of "sharing"... you think it's a coincidence those jerks decided to do their shit on rush hour?

[masterexploder83]

That's the whole point. People need to realize that there are commuters out there going to work ON BIKES everyday, just like you in your car, and that they need to respect the cyclists' space. There are people out there right now getting hit by careless drivers.

I've been hit 3 times (all on the sidewalk by careless drivers coming out of driveways) and I since have become a smarter cyclist and driver. So I have a reason to feel strongly about cyclists' rights.

[Bastet13cat]

LtChicken it is a protest u do know what a protest is right & did i mention we have the police in most of the countries & states protecting the demonstration because the law requires them 2 u do know what laws r right let's hope with ur frame of mind that none of ur family gets plowed from a vechicle that thinks like u do because they felt there time is more important than a human life.

[ramtes1971]

You need to grow up.

These demonstrations are growing all around the world because some many of us want a better place to live.

Car industry is dirty, kill lots of people and destroy several communities and countries, just to improve the life of few millon people in few developed countries for few decades.

[Leobons]

@ramtes1971 In the next 10 years zero emission cars will take over and boom! there goes bikesexual's only excuse for behaviors like this

[ramtes1971]

How are you going to make cars with zero emissions?

Even electric cars need lots of energy to build the car, plus the energy to run, not to say the battery waste. I acknowledge that we are aiming to cleaner technology, but push bikes have the best in terms of energy use.

[Leobons]

If youre gonna account for energy spent on making the car you better kill yourself since u produce 1kg of CO2 everyday just by breathing! At least throw away all your material possessions now!

Zero Emission No Noise while running for those who dont get at first

Batteries are more reciclable than most other products and energy for the first mass produced electric cars will come from solar and wind.

Best in terms of energy use in my POV includes not dropping any sweat! Bike=ride by the beach,sport

[ramtes1971]

Solar and wind, that will be ok, but I dont believe it until I see it.

In the meantime, the sustainable transport is the bike, also, is good to keep an active one.

By the CO2 produced, I produce plants that is most of my food, and also I produce my own compost, so I recycle my CO2.

By the way I am getting rid of my hydroponics, as it is creating a lot of rubbish.

[Leobons]

@ramtes1971 Believe me, 80% of the danish will be moved my wind by the end of the decade and 80% of israeli cars will be moved by solar by the same date. The process is ongoing and starts in 2 years although it is getting far less attention from the media that it should. Australia and Hawaii should follow in 2013.

As for your sustainable lifestyle, if it's true and it works for you -> congrats

[LoungeLizardLouie]

The best way to handle this situation is for the police to withdraw and let the cyclist and motorists work out the solution for themselves. Who will win? My money is on the motorists.

[LoungeLizardLouie]

I like the way Polak Police handled the situation. Very professional. The madness from San Francisco has spread to Europe. Life must be pretty good if an inane activity such as riding a bike can be trumped up into a demonstration. Very psychotic !!!

[StaryJarus]

How about that? Your comment reviles a great deal about your state of mind. Let me state it in point form as I doubt that you you would be able to grasp anything more complex: a/ you are a xenophobe; b/you support police brutality; c/ you seem all too happy to see our planet go down the toilet & all of the above in just one sentence. Truly impressive.

[shaggytwodope666]

The only thing thats truly impressive here is your lack of common sense.

A) You're the one who seems ot be afraid of people with different views other than yourself

B)There was no police brutality whatsoever in this video

C)If you're so concerned about the planet why are you on a computer. Considering most power is either created from nuclear or fossil fuels it is a lot more damaging to the earth to waste electricity than it is to drive a car.

Just admit it, its a worthless cause.

[Arialito]

ale super, ja pierdykam nie wiedziałem że w Warszawie była taka akcja

[areczek86]

The song name is "Kaliber 44 - normalnie o tej porze". Now in Warsaw Critical Mass is legal and its covered by police =]

[Etsihcrana]

I wish I could have been in that crowd.

[jacqueslestrap]

what is this song it's so good!!!

[bringanet]

when did this take place - really in 2002?

[aztecalgorithm]

Critical Massers live for this response. They provoke people into reacting so they can whine about all the iniquities of the world. Guess what? Riding a bike isn't a cause; it's just a sorry excuse for anarchy devised by a bunch of reactionary left Berkeley wannabees who don't feel important. I've seen these guys in action; they create drama and news from thin air. They push people to the edge and foster hatred and controversy. Just a bunch of anarchists peddling BS as well as bikes.

[slipperyledge]

you are possibly the least intelligent person i have ever encountered. Have you ever ridden a bike in the city and experienced the way cars treat cyclists regardless of the fact that most, like me follow every rule of the road. Biking is a cause. It promotes exercise, sustainability, and above all fun. Have you ever been to a protest of any kind. How about a parade? Or even a funeral? All stop traffic every once in a while and I certainly don't hear anyone complaining about those.

[rcmodder]

Those are special occasions, funeral to lay the dead to rest and parades occur only on certain dates of the year.

What u guys do is stop traffic, hoot and holler and get drivers and pedestrians pissed off rather than promote any sort of cause.

[slipperyledge]

apparently you missed the portion of my comment that listed just a few of the causes involved with critical mass. Saying that riding bikes to promote the rights of cyclists on the road is not a cause would be like saying women pushing for equal pay in work situation is hooting and hollering for no cause.

[aztecalgorithm]

No, biking is not a cause. It's a mode of transportation. You subjectively turn it into a cause (rebel without a cause) due to some delusion of grandeur or social myopia. All of your justifications are based on semantics. Parades follow certain rules, which your radical liberal friends do not. Parades are not organized to create tension and conflict..

You are very lucky that riding a bicycle is your greatest problem in life.

[RamboAmbo]

LMAO - riot police called out to stop people riding pushies. I bet they were bullied at school.

Awesome song at the start

[shaggytwodope666]

and I bet you dropped out of school.

[RamboAmbo]

Only bet with money you can afford to lose ;-)

[shaggytwodope666]

Well in this economy I don't think any body can afford to lose money!

[RamboAmbo]

Cool song

[DeVeDe69]

czy mi sie wydaje czy to jeszcze za czasow kiedy masa byla nie legalna? :)

[arcymik]

hahah

search: warszawska masa krytyczna

[michaldabek]

yes. that's how it is in Poland.

Have you ever seen the movie of Crtical Mass in New York City, where it was stopped by stupid police? Yes, Same things happen in Poland. Police hate bikers, drivers hate bikers. Then we're fighting. We hate our police, not for just destroying critical masses - for all the do.

Poland is a country where car is more important than people's life. Worth visiting anyway.

[Plantum21]

not every mass is stoped

for example city Thorn have legal critical masses covered by police :D

[BestTits]

@michaldabek critical mass is illegal

[keesiao88]

very cool. for a while i thought there will be someone wheelie onto the riot police shields.

p.s. i love the yellow flag.
