@PortlandsTransport Since noone has responded, allow me.

In the civil rights movement, one group of people being screwed by members of another group screwed back to make their message heard.

During the movement for the abolition fo slavery one group of people screwed with another group as part of their efforts.

Ditto women's suffrage and every other cause that's employed disruption, strikes, boycotts and other non-violent tactics. Why should cyclists' cause be any different?

Filmed with a potato again...

Did you film with with your shoe?

@geonerd 4. I couldn't care less about CM and don't claim to speak for it any more than I speak for the KKK, PETA, the NRA or any other group I'm not involved with.

5. if you genuinely believe all CMers only want to fuck people over you're a bigger idiot than I thought. The few I know would rather not, but see no alternative since years of letter-writing to politicians has achieved nothing.

6. Don't reply unless you want to address something I actually said - or just prove you ARE a moron.

@geonerd Ok... I've been really civil with other posters but you've been far too much of a cock for me to bother.

1. Cars are not horrible or evil. Low IQ morons like you often fail to realise that the majority of cyclists in the western world ALSO drive. I'm one of them.

2. I never said cars were infringing on anything.

3. I've made my REAL point abundantly clear several times and if you can't see it I'm not going to repeat it.

@thirteenfingers How fucking dare you compare yourself to slaves!

Tell me, you poor oppressed creature, just what 'rights' are those horrible, EVIL cars infringing upon?

On top of that, the CM 'movement' is too cowardly to even maintain a formal leadership. There is no stated agenda, no unifying goal - just chaos; yet you now claim to speak for all the Massholes? Got Ego, dude?

You losers have no 'noble cause;' you're just a mob that gets off on fucking over other people. Nothing more.

@MegaDyneSystemsExe I've already answered this, but in summary, yes and no.

No - inequality of cyclists isn't directly equivalent to slavery, discrimination or denied suffrage...

But because cyclists ARE a discriminated group and because (this is the point everyone objecting to my comments seem to run a marathon to ignore) the original question was why it's ok to screw with others. I gave examples of how "screwing with others" is a legitimate and effective means to bring about needed change.

@thirteenfingers I'm a cyclist myself and I never imagined comparing myself and other cyclists as a group with the ones you mentioned... seriously. Are you serious? lol

[buttmanroad]

I can't see anything. What are those Pixels doing?

[policechaser]

Did you record this video with a "brick?"

:-)

[smythdav]

Ok as a cyclist I just assume anyone driving a car is a moron and would sooner run me over than looks at me so I stay away from cars and don't get into battles over my rights.

As a driver, I make this exact same assumption and act accordingly.

That said, corking an intersection is an incredibly selfish and rude act. Motor cycle gangs do this too.

Anybody who does this motor or pedal is wrong - you don't own the damn road you share it. Follow the rules.
