I oppose the idea to them acting like dicks and accomplishing nothing but pissing off people who don't ride in the name of change.

Instead of suggesting total BS solutions, and stuff that will never happen, call your local MP and demand to know why your local police department is allowing and seemingly supporting the breaking of the road laws in your area. Then call the Vancouver Police department (not 911 you dumbasses) and let them know you will be in the downtown core on Friday afternoon and would like to know what the police will be doing to those cyclists who are endangering the Public as well as running posted traffic lights and signals.
After that, if you really want to do something, get as many motorists together as you can, and follow the critical mass ride. Be prepared for a very long afternoon, but be on your Horn the WHOLE DAMN TIME. Call it “Critical mass Auto edition” and claim you are protesting the fact that you are putting out more emissions thanks to cyclists blocking the downtown core.
I’m all for more bikes downtown and less cars, unfortunately critical mass simply makes drivers pissed off, and dose nothing to help promote change. Critical mass needs to be stopped before someone gets hurt directly or indirectly because of it.

I'm not a cyclist myself, but at least I can understand the intent (though I don't necessary agree with the means) of Critical Mass. The original intent of Critical Mass was to generate awareness about cyclists on the roads. I think its mission has been accomplished - at least people are talking about it.
Cyclists are treated as motor vehicles under the law and their rights to be on the road should be respected. To all those crying that they should be insured, etc., well instead of complaining about it, maybe you should talk to your local MLA and get the motor vehicle act changed. Would you rather have cyclists riding on the sidewalk? I personally would rather have cylists on the road. If every cyclist now switched to cars, the roads would be worse (well, we all own stock in GM and Chrysler so I suppose we should encourage car ownership to get our tax dollars back.)
As for the police, well it's rather hard to arrest thousands of cyclists, just like it's hard to arrest the hundreds who gather in front of the Art Gallery on 4/20.

Which a lot of the time, especially during critical mass, they do not. Quote: Rights and duties of operator of cycle
183 (1) In addition to the duties imposed by this section, a person operating a cycle on a highway has the same rights and duties as a driver of a vehicle.
(2) A person operating a cycle
(a) must not ride on a sidewalk unless authorized by a bylaw made under section 124 or unless otherwise directed by a sign,
---> (c) must, subject to paragraph (a), ride as near as practicable to the right side of the highway, <---
(3) Nothing in subsection (2) (c) requires a person to ride a cycle on any part of a highway that is not paved.
| A lot of the cyclists see the "RIGHTS" part but completely ignore the "DUTIES" part

you know what these dumbass cyclists will be 1000 times safer riding on the sidewalk
there is more room to ride on the sidewalk than fucking riding on the road
ROAD are for cars, not for fucking pedestrians or runners, or in this case the FUKING CYCLISTS
how many people walks on sidewalk vs how many cars are actually driving on the road? the ratio will be it is less chance of a dumbass cyclist to run into a pedestrian (which cant cause death) vs a dumb shit cyclist getting run over by a truck (and die )

They should be allowed to protest / celebrate as much as they want, but not at the fucking expense of others. One day someone is going to snap.
