My friend in Portland did a naked bike ride with a bunch of people a few years ago, not sure if it was critical mass or something else. Seems like a terrible idea but she said it was okay.

critical mass is those rear end in a top hat bicyclists that ignore traffic rules and then attack whichever poor family in a minivan impedes their retarded 'protest' right?
My main form of transport is a bicycle and I went to college around Critical Mass and could not possibly support them. It's like owning guns and having the sense to know that the NRA are loving idiots. But, oh no, it's THE LEFT and CHANGE man... Obnoxious cunts, Critical Mass.

Cycling is banned inside the precincts of Cambridge colleges, despite being the commonest student mode of transportation by far, precisely for this reason. One of our mathematics fellows was taught by a student of Hardy's, the man was loving ancient.

I never see those people in Austin, it's all white kids. Some asians I guess.

It was really bad around here before Lance Armstrong was utterly disgraced and you would just have roving packs of wannabes in their "sponsored" jerseys biking every where at rush hour but since the whole doping scandal kinda depressed that.

Bikes don't pay gas taxes, don't pay inspection or registration or any of the other myriad car related taxes that are dedicated to road M&O, ergo, they have no right to the road.

Once I got a compiler to work by the force of my very mind. "make clean" & "make" resulted in an error, so in my apoplexy I typed them again only hitting the keys harder while cursing, and it compiled.

I have never been able to understand how that was possible.

see this is win win, one less super old person sucking up resources and the bicyclist is probably too scared to ride his bike again
