olyclimber Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 How about if we have a Critical Mass Climbing Edition were we all congregate and go climb the Tooth together? That would be swell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtom Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 The IQ of a mob is much lower than the average IQ of it's component members. Â Besides, they trash up the world with their printed propaganda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelawgoddess Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 isn't that kind of creepy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneo_Funes Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Yes, it is kind of creepy. But it is good for people to recognize how dangerous the streets are for cyclists. Â 2 cyclists have had bad accidents involving cars in the last 2 days here in Portland. Yesterday a cyclist was killed, and the driver that hit him sped off. I haven't heard if they caught him yet.

Dechristo Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Is "Critical Mass" one of those Roman Catholic church services where the attendees do a lot of whining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 No, its where a collection of radical cyclists get together on a designated weeknight, in a downtown area and seriously f^ck up traffic for drivers who are trying to get home to pick up the kids. Â I am all for increased awareness of cyclists, being one myself. BUT I am not in favor of the tactics used by Critical Mass. They delight in being disruptive and generally piss off the majority of drivers during an event. How does that help to insure the safety of cyclists on the road? Â Because there is percieved safety in numbers, they are agressive both verbally and physically. Maybe here in "polite" Seattle they are not banging on cars stuck in traffic and cussing at the motorists. But I saw a lot of this is SF back in the 90s when Critical Mass started. Â Sorry Dave, this group sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These folks can ride bikes without training wheels??? The behavior you describe is better matched with tricycles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
