edit: you might position a bunch of bikers outside the exit gates and all waggle a finger at him.

cud hold a few signs etc to the effect of, 134 days to go, timed for an action the week before election. Even if we dont do something huge (though we would) it'll put bit lot of fear into the politicians wondering what we would do!

its all very well to talk about not pissing off the public etc. but if the peaceful approach fails, it comes down to what have we got to lose?

im keen to get involved!

remember blocking the motorway during rush hour is going to be largely ineffective as its blocked anyway, in auckland at least

and only the front few rows of cars will even know its bikes doing it - everyone behind them will just think theres been an accident or something.

I see it a bit different mate. If bikers are forced off their bikes then the disruption will be permamant.
Make it clear as suggested in banners --depicting what you will be driving if forced off your bike and THIS will happen every day

they are on our side even if their rides are registgered as cars.
put these trikes at the back of any mob, and then let any pissed off driver try to push trough .
a trike as the tail end charle on any group ride always will add to the saftey factor,
Apart from taking up the whole lane as a cages does,
they are rather intimidating to the average joe citizen.
so if any post BIKEOI is taken in the form of group rides,
try and have one or two big trikes at the rear.
Most trike riders dont mind being at the rear either, so co-opersation from them should be easy to arrange.

Sounds like I'm going to need to get a louder horn! I wonder if Str8 Jacket still has the airhorn she used to have on her bike? Maybe I could borrow it.

You're not suggesting Nick Smith is doing this for personal gain are you?

I think he is a quintessential Tory. Is convinced private enterprise can do it better. The fact that it never seems to deliver on promised fortune does little to assuage this conviction.

I believe pedestrians have right of way where driveways cross footpaths.

Could a steady stream of walking bikers prevent ACC staff get to work? MP's get into their office/home?

Visiting dignitaries get police escort from the Airport to parliament, but surely there'd be ways to embarass the Government next time some bigwig visits (without the diplomatic protection squad shooting someone, or more importantly, me).
