I was all ready to cite the law against "clinging" to a motor vehicle, but when I reviewed the law I noticed that bicyclists do not seem to be prohibited from <DO NOT TRY THIS> holding hands with a motorist while in motion. <\DO NOT TRY THIS>
On a more serious note: It is a shame that the media attention seems to have been intentionally biased against the Seattle CM riders. After digging through a few blogs posted by witnesses of the ride,it is clear to me that serious mis-interpretations of intent from all parties involved are to blame for the mindless escalation of havoc. The headline is extremely misleading and provocative. When Eric Sundquist raised the possibility of reviewing the criteria for drive-thru's, Mike Ivey intentionally created a provocative headline that gave the impression that Madison was planning to ban the drive thru. How do I know? I e-mailed Mike Ivey asking him if he could lay off the provocative and misleading headlines in the future. His reply? "I doubt this would have made the national news without that headline". Provocative headlines seem to sell. And apparently, provocative headlines that portray bicyclists as attackers also sell. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 01, 2008 9:53 PM To: Bikies Subject: [Bikies] RideCivil A reconciliation campaign in response to the recent Seattle Critical Mass mess. http://bikehugger.com/2008/08/ridecivil_artwork.htm Next up: lions lying down with lambs.
