If we have to play with the "party" as metaphor, I throw the relentless proslytizers out before I bother with folks who call each other bad names.

I'm with klangklangston. I can't decide if it's that posts haven't been deleted as much lately, or if I've just been more cranky, but it seems like things that are only meant to grind axes have been sticking around.

I rode a bike the other day and it was everything I thought it would be, and more.

I'm willing to talk about cycling almost any time but we're never gonna get anywhere with this issue. As much as it pains me to do this, I must agree with klangston.

You say black I say white
You say bark I say bite
You say shark I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars
You say Rolls I say Royce
You say God give me a choice
You say Lord I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is
Bicycle bicycle bicycle

I'm sick of damn bicycles thinking they rule the roads. Who wants to join my "critical mass for pedestrians" movement?

The first time I saw the cohesive 'basically aligned in our values' culture of Mefi fracture apart was in a Critical Mass thread, years ago. I know that some topics cause a lot of internecine warfare among the American/British/etc. left (eg. feminism), but, bicycles?

It's not "bicycles," it's people who think they're special becuase they own/operate bicycles.
