Seems a bit pointless to me:

Quotes "we're stopping the traffic for a bit of fun"
"Why are you stopping traffic? , I don't know"


Can anybody tell me what this does for the image of cycling?
After 'events' like this is it any wonder why some people hate cyclists?


I expect most people realise that CM is not representative of
cyclists.


Why do they assume that most cyclists are alike with a standard image
and are somehow representative?


You do the same with motorists, why do you assume that all motorists are
alike?

Sources show that a majority of motorists are lawbreakers and yet they
have the cheek to criticise cyclists for breaking laws.

CM includes a wide range of individuals with differing views. Also you
may have noticed that this particular ride was mainly led by a bunch
of skateborders, who definitely are not representative of cyclists. So
what?


Doug.


Do you condone CM breaking laws?


This all has been discussed at length in the past so why do you keep
on asking the same old, tired questions? Better still why don't you
try presenting you own points of view instead for a change?

Why don't you ask the police, who know exactly when and where CM takes
place every month but take no action?

Critical Mass London.

"Get out of my way you communist Effing scum, dole cheats”, said a
taxi driver.



My point of view is the same as ever, I think the law should be obeyed.
So back to my questions
"Do you condone CM breaking laws?"
"Do tell us, are you proud of them? "
"Is obstructing the highway a bad law? "
