Rosa took proper action, she rocks, Lenny Bruce????? not really a hero of any sort, just a self-righteous potty mouth. Ed Abbey wasn't holdin' busy people up and shooting birds at folks who might be giving grandma a ride to her bible study group. Like I said, the only action massers take is botherin' folks under the false banner of "advocacy". On top of that, they frequently ILLEGALLY disrupt traffic - how will any legitimate responders react to that? Can we see any accomplishments of note from critical mass? NO. Just riders/drivers feelin' pissed at one another.
I know what critical mass is about - I've seen it first-hand and was sorry about what it actually did for my safety as a cyclist, and I've been reading about it on-line for a while, trying to find just one example of a notable accomplishment, to no avail. All I found were some bikers stoked about being a part of critical mass, but not one advancement that came to cyclists as a result of these rides. It's just a buch of Cindy Sheehans - you know, folks that like being part of a movement and raising hell, but failing to build real credibility for their cause that their counterparts/audience would ever take serously and therefore acomplishing nothing but the making of waves. :bluefrown: :bluefrown: :bluefrown:
There are groups that are better equipped and more effective when it comes to representing cyclists and their ideas/agendas. Don't wreck us, help us. Steer the massers to evolve into a better organization that other groups would actually take seriously and warm up to and not be bothered by. This is a (*******)cyclist talking here. If a ******* can see this, why can't you?
