no idea why the pics appeared twice. if a mod wants to remove the dupes and this addition, please feel free.

We the people of London are totally sick and tired of you critical mass morons. What the hell are you trying to achieve? You are just pissing people off with your stupid antics. Get a life and get a job and leave the hard working people of London alone.

lol what a bunch of morons

cycling isn't a crime - you are correct
so what exactly are your bleating about except some strawman argument?

re the two moronic comments above.

perhaps they were posted either by the lying cops who are trying to construct a post-arrest justification with their palpable nonsense about critical mass being infiltrated by activists bent on olympic destruction, or by sleazy gareth furby from london local bbc who turned up at court this morning with his piece already written, having received footage and his instructions from said cops.

or, perhaps they just don't like critical mass for other reasons.
wow - that broadsides your theories out of the water doesn't it. ha!

Perhaps you are a paid bike industry informer who is here to post stupid anti-car comments

Perhaps you just don't like cars because of an accident as a young child and therefore you are subconsciously now hating cars and that doesn't really have anything to do with liking bikes, but rather just fits in with the lets-all-hate-cars rhetoric?

A cabbie with a victim complex? Surely not. Cyclists have jobs thanks, and because we're not sat on our fat arses all day are more likely to live longer than whiny cabbies.

'Perhaps you just don't like cars because of an accident as a young child and therefore you are subconsciously now hating cars'

Well that's reason enough to support Critical Masses isn't it?

FUCK CARS

>Well that's reason enough to support Critical Masses isn't it?

Well, my mate would be dead if it wasn't for cars. His dad rushed him to hospital with anaphylactic shock.... in a car! No cars = dead person. You lose

What about transporting food? How is that going to work without lorries?
What about ambulances? Can't be done with bikes?
Remember, we don't all live in Tower hamlets you know

while transport is no doubt sometimes essential, food is flown and driven all round the world unsustainably and wastefully, mostly to provide profits for mega-corporations (the same ones found out over and over again in food scares like the recent horse scandal).

we need to move to far more local production and transport of food.

meanwhile, the idea that everyone is entitled to burn oil to get around in private transport will be looked back on as archaic in the future. simple pooled car schemes and properly funded fast and efficient public transport can be the only solution to the the problems of diminishing energy resources, as well as the seriously increasing pollution in london and other cities.

cyclists can sometimes be a bit childish, and a bit holier than though, but don't let that distract you from the simple common-sense that the current and ever increasing level of private transport is wholly unsustainable.

the bizarre notion that cyclists don't have jobs is just one example of how lacking in common sense some 'bike-haters' are - there's simply no evidence for this belief!

yes, many bicyclists are to some extent 'car haters', for a variety of sensible reasons including pollution, potholes, recklessness, speed, climate change, and traffic jams, none of which cyclists are constantly responsible for.

How many bycles will you need to ship 500 tonnes of turnips from somerset? Do you think we can sustain the numbers of human being we currently have with out shipping food?
Maybe you would like to explain to 70% of londoners who live in multiple occupany buildings that they will not be able to eat as they cant grow food on the land they dont have, cant grown much in a window box.

properly funded fast and efficient public transport

So what does public transport run on. the trains and busses of this country churn out far more Co2 and micro particulants than all the cars.

In london the number of private cars on the road is low, its the cabs, buses, coaches, works vans and delivery vans that make up the majority of road traffic


yes, many bicyclists are to some extent 'car haters', for a variety of sensible reasons including
pollution, - weve covered that true facts
potholes, - cars are normally too light to create the realy big potholes and road damage that you see, trucks, buses and heavy goods does it well though
recklessness, - like rideing on the pavement, going through red lights, pedestrian crossings (with people on them) and lane changeing without observation....yeah thats cars isnt it
speed, - average speed in central london is 23 miles per hour
climate change, - odly all the cars in the world produce less greenhouse emisions than all the cows and power stations (that produce electricity for the public transport)
traffic jams, - funny, the conguestion charge (now £10) still hasnt made all the cars go away...maybe they need to make that journey

none of which cyclists are constantly responsible for - your human, your liable.

Maybe what we need is for a few more folk to have taken physics and chemistry instead of the humanities and invent cleaner fuels, better public trasit systems and ways to transport electricity with out loss.
still that takes effort and wont get you laid at uni
