| Critical Mass Tunnel Freaks
To all cyclists who supported the Critical Mass ride through the Melbourne domain tunnel, thanks a lot. As a competative cyclist I have had to put up with increase abuse while training today because of your stupidity last night. Unfortunately many motorist think we are one in the same and have been giving more abuse today than we normally recieve just for sharing the road. Just a coincidence, I dont think so!
Why don't you look at the constructive lead taken by Bicycle Victoria, who promote safe road use for all users. They lobbying Local and State governments in the provision of cycle safe roads. They also promote rides that introduce thousands of non cyclist to the sport, which in turn educates a large group of the population on the benifits of bicycle commuting and hence reduces the use of cars.
You riders want a society with out cars, its not going to happen, get over it. What will happen with the publicity that you short sighted radicals get, is there will be a wider devide between motorist and us. This will just make it more dangerous to ride, discourage people from riding and undo all the good BV and simular groups have achieved.
