Au contraire, Mr. T. Please review:
Critical Mass, a loose gang of bicyclists, conducts “monthly political-protest rides” in cities around the world. While they’ve mastered the art of getting together to block traffic and yell “wooooooo” while riding (think: white guys with dreads on Schwinns) they really haven’t nailed down just what they’re protesting; for years now “corporations” have sufficed as their primary whine target. (Come to think of it, I protest corporations, too - but specific ones on behalf of TAR and totally devoid of any higher principle.)
Anyway, these guys were doing the ride the other night and NYPD rookie police officer Patrick Pogan, a 3rd generation cop, decked some asshole right off his ride. A-fucking-plus. Caught on film for our amusement, the only downside is that this right and proper de-biking has given Critical Mass a cogent focus on which to protest - and that’s “abuse of its moronic membership”.
TAFR, Christoper Long (the rider), you deserved worse.
