wow i cant believe everyone hating on cyclist. we cant ride on the sidewalk because we'll hit people who are walking and coming in and out of stores and we cant ride in the streets because we're in-convincing people in automobiles even though the law allows cyclists the same rights on the road as automobiles

"tackles girl doing nothing." how the fuck do we know that from this video? she could have had a gun or something for all we know.

PROTIP:

stop being a whiney faggot, and maybe police officers wouldn't single you out.

@bandwagonretards Actually even if she was carrying and had the proper permits it would be legal. Whereas pepper spraying people who are more than 15 feet away and not interfering with police work is not. LEARNING IS POWER.

Or in your case I'm sure you'll finish your GED online at some point...hopefully.

bunch of pussies (bikers) beat them all

@bandwagonretards This is how those assholes and supporters get press. Leaving in JUST enough to make themselves look like the victem. Fuck them. I'd love to run a semi right through their little bike parade. Didn't their mothers ever tell them to leave their toys in the yard?

Asshole Minneapolis Bicyclists . That wasn't enough should have ran that whore over with the car ! : )

@TheRepublicOfJohn Sounds like critical mass is just a bunch of trouble makers. There really needs to be an organized group for that? Sounds pointless to me but thats just my opinion.

[TheRepublicOfJohn]

@hatfisc The whole point of critical mass is to show that bicycle riders have the exact same rights as cars. Riding in numbers means that when cars and cops mess with riders, there are witnesses. When a car is inconvenienced, they learn what it's like for bikes. It's empowering to bicyclists who get victimised and marginalized every day. If you were out on a bike on the road every day with crazy road rage drivers endangering you for sport, you'd get pissed off too.

I guess there is no safety in numbers. Ride safely, away from car. Learned this as a child. I don't know why we grant special understanding for recreational bicycle riders over people in automobiles who actually might have something important to do. Ride alone, wear a helmet. Bicycles aren't that cool anyways.
