"22-year-old Patrick Pogan – has been stripped of his badge and gun and the NYPD has "placed the officer on desk duty pending the outcome of a department investigation." The cyclist, Christopher Long, has not commented, but his lawyer said, The video speaks for itself."

i don't bother these dyas but I'm glad they are still going.
the funny thing is... lots of the people I know from critical mass rides 10 or so years ago are now transport planners, environmental policy advisors, designers and 2 are politicians...

Since I came from SF I've been debating if I should get a bike as my main transportation. I wish SD was more bike friendly

for what I understand, its a way to protest the car based transit system, thats all.
Hipsters are there, but not everyone involved is one

Fight for it? Critical Mass is about hipsters reclaiming their childhood, as they do with their clothes and lifestyle; they all call each other up and ask, "wanna ride bikes?"

TOUCHY SUBJECT! I always thought it was kind of stupid until the earth started heating up and people started changing at a slow pace or not at all, now I am kind of grateful that there are annoying Greenpeace kids in my face every now and then. Someone has to fight for it and look stupid until everything is running its proper course.
- so this begs to ask; what the hell are you doing in the PNW?horton

Well I'm planning on going. I wouldn't consider myself a hipster, I wouldn't look very good in tight pants. I do, however, own a couple expensive shirts.
I'm not going in protest or to cause any problems. I really do just enjoy biking in big groups.
I do like to see and experience confrontation, so if that happens, I'll be pretty giddy about it. I'm not one to cause or even join in, but I like to watch. Better than television.

damn greasy hipsters, holding up traffic for the sake of tight ass pants and expensive tshirts

here some video from the one in San Diego
I was playing at a gig that night setting up at a club, and suddenly I hear all this noise on the street, for like 40 minutes the only thing I saw was bikes passing by.. it was incredible

I think critical mass is a biking group in boston, or it may be all cities but basically they all go out and bike or something in the city
- it's everywhere. usually a monthly bike ride.

Critical Mass sucks. You frickin' idiots made me late for work, school, etc. more than once when I lived in S.F. This exercise in peerless assholery is one of the prime reason that I can't stand the leftist viewpoint. You just don't seem to understand that your rights end where mine begin (and vice versa). Juvenile selfishness and self-centeredness are attributes best left in childhood.

It's a blast, just don't piss off the wrong car. I saw a couple fights last time.
- see next post!capn_ron
- I never got violent with anyone. That would be just as stupid.dog_opus
- "You frickin' idiots"
Seems pretty violent.capn_ron - Yeah, I guess so: to an idiot. 'Cause heaven knows that recognizing idiocy requires violence.dog_opus
- you are a fuck nut and an idiot.
same here thoughcapn_ron - and I am not serious by the way.
I don't think you are violent for saying you fucking idiots.capn_ron - Hey, I'll readily acknowledge my idiocy when the time comes, but I try my best not to inflict others with it!dog_opus
- Hope I didn't offend you by the way, pal.dog_opus
- no offense, i am having fun and know you are too.capn_ron
- and trust me, i know how it can piss cars off waiting for the bikes on a friday night.capn_ron
