    Fuck mate, I've got a car or two, and so do some other riders. I would quite happily form a buffer between the bikes and other cages just for safetys sake, plus I could stock the car with baseball bats incase someone got really antsey.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    With signage on the back of the vehicle showing why you're going that slow...

    Riding slow around WRB infront of politicians and policy makers makes sense, but riding around like an annoying slow cunt infront of people that technically don't make policy strikes me as a little futile.

    However if you do manage to raise the publics awareness despite them fucked off that they can't get to their skim milk lattes ...realistically whats going to happen then?

    I haven't taken a very pro-active role in this campain, but I would imagine a less obstructive/intrusive (?) protest would be better.

    Anyone else see the irony in intentionally riding near the things we should be avoiding in the first place?

    There are many facets to this campaign. One of those is civil disruption. Handled properly, those pissed-off cagers will add their voices to ours for removal of cheesecutters, but for different reasons. Some will 'get it', especially those that see the Falcon photo, but the rest may just want them gone because of how they 'cause delays, and I need to get to (where-ever)'
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    So you'd be similarly sympathetic to cyclists holding you up/traffic up for an equally valid reason?

    That's a bit arrogant. You're sounding like Greenpeace now.

    I know - though I'm rather more insulted by the second one to be honest.

    That is why there are TWO fronts on the CC war. The high profile raising public awareness one, through KB.

    And the low profile one , harrassing the policy makers , through BRONZ.

    Get 'em coming AND going. Support whichever works for you. Or both.

    And some might just say "Fuckin' motorcyclists, just wait till the next one tries to overtake me - I'll show the fucker".

    Sorry Jrandom

    But this thread is now the coolest troll ever.

    Fatjim - I'm proud mate. This is one of the best in the history of the Intardnet.

    I think I may cry. Sniffle, Sob. Waaaaah....

    So beautiful.....
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
