braintag: RNC 2004 - The Struggle Against Those Who Use Bicycles To Try To Shape The World

August 29, 2004

in 2000, it was the puppets. in 2004, it seems to be the bicycles. first, after eight years of peaceful, fully cooperative protests, 250 bicyclists critical mass riders get arrested on friday. (My favorite quote: "Before, it was these peaceful environmental groups doing it, but they seem to have been taken over by this other group—Critical Mass—that’s basically trying to take over the city" Wha?) Saturday, Josh gets arrested, his bike confiscated, and this afternoon comes with word from NY1 that cyclists were arrested again during today's United for Peace march.

Perhaps this is part of the "Struggle Against Ideological Transportationalists Who Happen to Use Bicycles as a Weapon To Try To Shape The Conscience Of The Free World."

i am an avid cyclist, 5+ years doing the central park loop, the gwb -> hudson -> battery park -> coney island trails, new jersey, etc. i love biking.

but these critical mass guys are fools with no vision.
