Well, we can co-exist w/ cyclists, but not cyclists who'r trying to impede traffic on purpose. Kill them, KILL THEM ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Isn't there some sort of law that is against causing traffic purposely? I mean i'm sure some dude with road rage (half of RS) would run over these pricks. It's only a matter of time before someone gets fed up and runs them over.

When I used to have a full sized Dodge Ram with a push bar I'd be thinking the same thing about all the smaller cars around me. |

What I was implying was that some of them come and block you purposely, cars don't do that. They cause traffic either by accidents or there's just too many cars. Critical mass purposely parks their bikes infront of cars on green lights to stop them from moving. Traffic caused by cars, for most part, obey traffic laws, Critical mass DO NOT. http://jnarvey.com/2009/01/30/mylife...al-mass-sucks/
Kasia "I’m all for bikes, I think bikes are sweet, I have a bunch myself. I’m all for going green, that’s awesome too. But blocking off Stanley Park and the bridge is the dumbest, stupidest thing ever. It just makes motorists hate cyclists more, not to mention half the city is trapped in traffic. People can’t get home to pick up their children from school, make dinner for their families, or just get to whever they were going without having to sit in traffic for 2 hours. And what’s worse, you don’t represent the real roadies: the ones who wear helmets, abide by the law, and yet still get treated like crap because all you people have lost all respect for cyclists in Vancouver. So do everyone a favour, and display your movement in such a way that yields positive results and does not make the whole city angry."
Jonathan "If Critical Mass does not stop doing the Lions Gate Bridge I will never attend again.
Shutting down the bridge for over an hour is the most stupid obnoxious and cruel thing it could ever do.
Making hard working people suffer in traffic for that amount of time so that douche with a bullhorn can yell about no blood for oil is an insult to the human race. I hate cars and carbon emissions and the fact that we as a species are about to go extinct, but there is no reason to make people suffer in the mean time.
Consider the effects of your actions! Since that is exactly what the mass is supposed to be all about."

Critical Mass is just giving you a highlight of how bad the problem can become if you don't think of another solution.
I don't agree with how they protest, yet I'm also not going to cry about it.

Ok you misunderstood, I'm not saying that we have more cars than LA, Toronto, or NY, I'm saying traffic is CAUSED BY too many cars and not by drivers disobeying traffic laws like the cyclists from Critical Mass. If you're going to be riding your bike on the road than you better obey traffic laws.
If you're talking about crying, than what are the Critical Mass doing? They're CRYING OUT FOR HELP or trying to make a change, but they're not helping by angering drivers. Quote:

If some cyclist put their hands on my car, I would be damn tempted to run them over.

Bikes have a right to the road, they can ride right down the centre of lanes if they want to, and the minimum speed limit is 20 kmph. Quote:

If you don't like critical mass, protest against it. Whining/crying on a car forum isn't dong much. Quote:
