Ode to Bicycle

I believe that this is the music that should be used:

and maybe instead of bicycles these guys could hold scythe and hammer banners and shout stuff about imperialism...

Why is that?

I strongly believe bicycle shoud overpower the world through capitalism....
People spare a lot of money with bicycle that they can spend in other issues: vacations, leisure, etc...

And I've chosen a european composer, because US is the country with more vehicles/pax in the world, and Germany is still a country where bicycles are venerated!!!

I quite liked some of the womynz in the video. I can't think of a single instance in which a nude or semi-nude woman would be offensive.

You don't have patience for someone's avatar?

I got epilepsy from watching it.

So you've indirectly accused someone of being an annoying commie, and called their avatar disgusting. All before their 3rd post on the forum. Didn't you just report someone for cyber-bullying?

It's one of those "pot, meet kettle" moments. Reporting someone for cyber-bullying? That really happened?

"Apparently some folks are easily offended."

Welcome to The United States Of The Offended.

"Can't we all just get along?"

"Can't we all just get along?"

Sure! I'm an equal opportunity bigot! [IMG]/img/vbsmilies/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG] Er...hypocrite. Er...saddle sniffer! FTW!

I kinda meant it rhetorically but um ok.

I really dont want to get too much into this. Basically there are these cycle-crazy "groups" which do all kind of stuff using bicycles.

I like cycling alot but I dont want to be associated with these people because of the stuff they do. Like road blocking, noise pollution with screaming anthems and stuff like that. Its a new craze here and I checked it personally a few times and lets just say that I didnt have much luck mixing with these people and not because I am a bad person or anything.

These people think of them selfs as a "group", of which you are never really a part of for some reason and they tend to insult you on the spot if you try to talk to them. Which is strange because they are kinda proud of their numbers, like "oh yeah we had 400 cyclists on our latest cycling $#$@ where we just cycled 20km whilst totally clogging the main road for 2 hours."

Propositions for vandalizing street furniture etc is common in these groups so the place would be more "bike friendly" and blantly behaviour like that doesnt help make a place more cycling friendly at all. Its just my personal experience.

As far for the commie thing, there are direct invitations from such groups to attend "left wing" events, (like concerts, festivals, protests, donating money, buying left wing papers,) from the members of the groups (the CMR scene etc are "open events" with no moderation) with the bicycle which has absolutely no point in doing, resulting people to start "connecting" bicycles with protests, activism, the left wing etc. in their minds.

There is a reason that they do that and its because bicycles are a popular way of transportation and they might try to lure people using their preference of transportation method only to ask them later to attend to more clearly illegal activism actions of a non cycling related nature and if they dont they are being treated badly, terrorized or at least ignored.

I did report some people for cyber bullying because I am just here to discuss some stuff in a nice manner, make a few jokes and so on. Arguing on the net and having people being bad its not fun for me.

Finally this avatar does seem disgusting to me and prefer not to watch it. I think that is why somebody invented the block user button in the vBulletin forums... [IMG]/img/vbsmilies/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG]

I get it. I'm not crazy about critical mass or commies either but it's a little harsh on the forum noob.

Every time someone throws out the term "left wing" it raises the question about how far out on the right wing they are. A perfect example is BigotBob, the forum's klansman.
