Hamburg G20 summit protests and bicycles

So, what does this have to do with bicycles? If you watch the video
of the cleanup, there are quite a few burned out and trashed bicycles
visible in the wreckage:

Do anti-capitalists have something against bicycles?

The news article I read referred to them as anti-global protesters.
Perhaps they were protesting against Chinese made bicycles :-)

It has to do with soot and rubber. A bicycle is a bit easier to move than a
car wheel. (And everybody knows that a burning bicycle wheel is only
producing climate-friendly smoke.)

What a sorry level of metallurgical experimentation -- and they probably
weren't even Swedes ;-O

Do anti-capitalists have something against bicycles?

Really just another expression of self-hatred and limo envy.

When I was 17 years old, I lived and worked in Smog Angeles during the
Watts Riots:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_riots
The area was trashed, but not to the extent that I saw in the Hamburg
videos. The difference was that American rioters are more practical.
Instead of trashing and burning bicycles, American rioters would take
them home and either ride or sell them later. Looting is far more
practical than burning, and leaves less of a mess on the streets.
American rioters also fail to appreciate the symbolic importance of
book burning in the streets, and prefer instead to burn businesses and
official buildings. This also helps keep the streets comparatively
clear.

Judging by the video and the way they mishandled the bicycles, the
German riot police were not terribly interested in bicycle recycling
or repair.

Maybe. I suspect that it's a product of too much capitalism, where
the real cost of bicycles is sufficiently low that rioters cannot be
bothered with stealing them. I assume that the rioters hadn't
considered that the success of capitalism had in some ways enabled
them to riot effectively and economically.

Don't count on it! I participated in the
protests against the G8 meeting in Heiligendamm
some 10 years ago. There was ultra-violence
there as well to be sure but in Hamburg they
seem to have taken it to the next level.

Heiligendamm was one of the most gorgeous
places I've ever seen on this Earth by the way.
And the excitement and physical fatigue made it
an almost euphoric experience.

I remember some guys waking me up in the middle
of the night in a forest. "You can't sleep
there", they said. "Why?", I asked, confused.
"Because you are sleeping on our map"

Karl Marx was not an anarchist. As Wikipedia offers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_and_Marxism
Marxism has tended to be a theoretical or analytical discourse
about revolutionary strategy.
Anarchism has tended to be an ethical discourse about
revolutionary practice.
Ummm... right.

Maybe they have a five year plan ?

That was the Communists starting in about 1928:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_five-year_plan_(Soviet_Union)
They gave up on the idea when they discovered that nobody in Russia
could afford a 5 year calendar.

Although there was something resembling a TV starting in about 1928,
modern television didn't really take off until 1953, when RCA finally
figured out how to make NTSC function.

Kropotkin Lives !

He died in 1921. Quite an oddity for an anarchist as he was from a
wealthy land owning family. He does kinda look like a modern day
hipster:

As an admitted "terrorist" can you tell us what the positive results
of your protest was?

Other then the gratuitous destruction of other people's property, that
is.
