we should be arguing for Public Transport

not bicycles. neither everyone is healthy enough to ride a bicycle, nor everyone lives close to their workplaces or willing to spend hours on the road. i am sure this bicycle thing is the product of some middle-class hippies with shit politics(its not surprising to read that crirical mass started in san francisco)

class struggle communists should argue for free, enviroment-friendly transportation for everyone and leave aside absurd, primitivist ('lets return back 200 yrs where cars dont exist') ideas.

@Nabat: why not both public transport AND bicycles?

It isn't a choice of either public transport OR bicycles. Maybe this is a mind-blowing concept for you, but maybe we could have BOTH?

I don't hear cyclists asking for public transport to be dismantled. Cycling isn't absurd primitivism, it has many benefits.
