If they really wanted to get their message across and protest for more bike lanes, they would've sat infront of the mayor office or the city hall, not riding bicycle annoying everyone else in the city.
Wait, you mean only 0.1% of CMers are actually trying to make a political statement? That 999 out of 1000 of them are fucking up traffic and disrupting downtown life on a monthly basis FOR FUN?

Great... all the more reason to drive a dump truck through the lot of them.

Use fish wire because its basically invisible to them as they're biking

make sure you wear a pair of gloves though

get 20 people make a really long banner wide enough to go from one side of the street to the other and walk in front of them really really slow so they can't ride there bikes.

This is EXACTLY what they're doing to traffic - being all passive-aggressive, not instigating anything, and no doubt just hoping some frustrated driver gets up in their grilles so the poor sap ends up with an assault charge. So, turn it around, block their way passively but don't instigate anything... wait until a couple of them do something stupid, and have THEM charged with assault.
Pedestrian jam would be ideal. Get a couple hundred people at one of the intersections on the route and have them all continuously walk through the crosswalk. Force them to follow the rules of the road...... or get knocked over like NYPD did to the bike rider in the other thread ;)

I rather we all chase them down and throw branches in their spokes.. was fun back in the day..

Any pedestrian "block" you could setup would simply be avoided by them, they'd just turn. How are you going to muster up enough people to prepare for an event with no known route? Best thing u can do is spread out and take pot shots at them.

Didn't think this deserved its own thread, but this'll really help traffic:

Flipped dump truck on Pacific and Davie
By Chris Parry 07-31-2009 COMMENTS(0) Sun Breaking News

A garbage truck has flipped at Pacific and Davie spilling trash all over the road right as drivers were trying to leave the city early, ahead of the planned Critical Mass protest.

Drives are advised to find alternate routes while emergency services try to clear the area.

- ya alternate routes that are fked up by the mob. WHAT ALTERNATE ROUTES!?!?!?! bloody hell.

if you block the full width of the road at an intersection, they get jammed up. they can't turn around and go backwards, as there's a horde of bikers behind them. then, if there's enough people, create another pedestrian wall at the back, and the clowns can't really leave.

also send boatloads of letters and such to city hall, police, MP's, etc

You form a human chain AROUND where they gather.

find whoever organizes these and release his personal info to the interwebs. then just call, email, whore, him as much as humanly possible. if he ever asks why, your just one of the thousands of people giving him a taste of how painful his cute little protest is


barring that, smash his face in as a random act of violence

If we block the full width of the road, we will be blocking the cyclist AND the motorist. We don't want to be doing that, we need to find a solution to fuck with these anarchist while not harming motorist.

I also propose a stolen shopping cart loaded with stones rolling down a steep hill through their path in the middle of their crossing. It'll be like shopping cart bowling. Who can score the most assholes.

Blinky 07-31-2009 08:19 PM
So how many of you keyboard kowboys actually did anything? :IDL

We should play dodgeball with them in the middle. Knock those fuckers out one by one.

It'll work better if you call it in over a registered residential line.

Marco911 07-31-2009 08:28 PM
Make it like Thai New Year and have a water fight in the street at the same time. Just bring your supersoakers and act like you're just throwing water around and having fun.

I like your style, but isn't this kind of like an Anon protest? No ring leaders etc.?

No organizers. Simply meet up at the last friday of every month at 6pm in front of the art gallery. No pre planned route, it's determined by the rider in the front. At least, according to the JoS on the Fox.

Still frustrating that it always feels like a small loud minority gets their way all the time while the majority get screwed.

We can post arguements on their facebook group.

very simple...
have one person film a guy get run over by a bike and submit it to all news agencies. preferably have the person that gets run over to be some hard working student leave a double shift from mcdicks to pay his college tuition, etc. or single mother, etc

the film date must be on one of their protest dates, film relevent phsical landmarks, the exact date, etc

underscore 08-01-2009 12:35 AM
yeah I realized that flaw with my idea, you'd have to separate around each individual car to let it squeeze through, too much hassle.
